MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641000583 A) filed by Ravindra B. S.; Partha Narayana K. R; and Gowthami K. R., Bangalore, Karnataka, on Jan. 3, for 'on-board energy recovery and battery augmentation system for electric vehicles.'
Inventor(s) include Ramachandra K. S.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an on-board electromagnetic energy recovery and battery augmentation system (100) for electric vehicles. The system is integrated within a wheel assembly comprising a hub motor (202) and brake assembly (203). During vehicle operation, relative motion between permanent magnets or electromagnets and electrical coils generates DC and/or AC electrical energy. The generated energy is conditioned, stepped up using modified voltage step-up device (103), rectified, and regulated before being supplied to a main traction battery (200) through an interface (105). The system (100) operates automatically during vehicle motion and is electrically isolated from vehicle propulsion, braking, and electronic control units, thereby avoiding interference with normal vehicle functions. By continuously supplying supplemental electrical energy while the vehicle is running, the system (100) improves battery utilization efficiency, reduces dependence on external charging, and enhances driving range by approximately twenty percent or more under representative operating conditions."
