 The authors describe reasons for creating environmentally friendly vehicles, such as electric vehicles with a hybrid power plant. Specifications of the best known world analogues of electric LC vehicles are presented in this work. The authors consider features of the experimental model of the "NNSTU-Electro" electric vehicle created on the basis of "Gazelle" chassis developed and produced in the NNSTU. The results of theoretical and experimental studies of traction-speed characteristics and energy consumption when driving an NNSTU-Electro electric car in the urban cycle and steady motion are also provided in this article.
