Abstract
This invention comprises a vehicle-related system (S) adapted for driving an electrically and by one or more batteries driven vehicle (1, 5) along a distance of a road-way, comprising; “a” one or more vehicles (1) driven by an individual electric motor or motors (5), wherein the respective vehicles (1) exhibit a control circuit (“R2”) for creating necessary power and/or speed control and wherein a required power can i.a. be supplied primarily by a battery set up (“II”, “B”) allotted to the vehicle and being chargeable, and “b” a plurality of road sections or portions (2a1) subdividing the stretch of a roadway (2), each one allotted one or more electric stations (“III”, “s1”) in the form of an external source of power for thereof charging the battery set up (“II”,“B”) and/or supplying the necessary power and energy for driving the vehicle (1). A circuit (151), determining instantaneous power content of the battery set up, is adapted, in determining a predetermined level of power lying below a maximized power content, and in an occurring feed voltage for the external source of power (“III”, “s1”) to connect the external source of power over a switch (43a) allotted to the source of power for offering charging of the battery set and/or for offering power and energy feeding of said motor (5) over said circuit (“R1”) controlling the power.
