NOVELTY - The vehicle has energy storage systems including battery storage system and ultra capacitor energy storage system that deliver electrical energy to electric motor (500). An energy management controller (310) controls the routing of energy between the vehicles system based on status, capabilities, demands of various systems and requirements imposed on vehicle. The energy regeneration subsystem regenerates energy in battery storage system and ultra capacitor energy storage system, while vehicle is in operation.    USE - Electric drive ground transportation vehicle e.g. electric car, bus, light-rail train and very small vehicles e.g. golf carts.    ADVANTAGE - By powering the ground transportation vehicle, reliance on internal combustion is eliminated, issue with battery technologies is resolved, the vehicle is enabled to operate in non-polluting manner and the vehicle can be charged and recharged quickly, even when the vehicle is in operation. The electric motor can be powered by energy supplied by a single energy storage system, without requiring the use of energy from some other source and can be powered by multiple energy storage systems simultaneously. One or more energy storage systems can be replenished and the stored energy can be increased, while the vehicle is in motion. Mechanical complexity of vehicle is reduced by allowing direct electric drive. The electric motors driving the vehicle wheels can be converted to generate electricity, when the car is breaking or when traveling down hill and the range of vehicle is extended by storing back the excess energy produced in the energy storage system. A fully plug-and-play component-based vehicle can be created without the need for mechanical connections and the system can be by-passed or replaced without impact to any other system, if the system is inoperable. Disparate system can be located nearly anywhere in the vehicle, thus enabling greater design freedom and greater ease of access for repair or replacement. By the provision of multiple energy sources, built-in redundancy is ensured, so that the energy can be sourced from one system or more depending on need and availability and the system can be completely drained or rendered inoperative and the vehicle can continue the operation. The creation of dump tank is enabled, where compressed air tank of the car can be nearly instantaneously filled, thus reducing the time for recharging the battery-operated vehicle.
