Abstract: Kinetic Energy Regenerative System (KERS) for electric vehicles is introduced, along with foundational information regarding its design and application. The objectives and methodology of the proposed work are delineated. The essential components for the KERS have been designed based on precise calculations, ensuring optimal system performance. The design and analysis of these components were executed using CAD modeling and ANSYS software to validate their structural integrity and functional feasibility. Following the computational analysis, a physical prototype of the KERS was developed and manufactured for experimental testing. Experimental investigations were conducted on the developed model to evaluate parameters such as theoretical wheel speed, theoretical distance traveled, actual wheel speed, and actual distance traveled for varying input wheel speeds. The results revealed that the actual wheel speed and distance traveled consistently exceeded the theoretical values for the same input conditions. These findings underscore the efficiency and effectiveness of the developed KERS model in energy recovery and performance enhancement.
