The global climate changes require the setting of high and hard to attain environmental goals and every technological improvement is a step towards achieving them. Transport is one of the biggest polluters. Electric and hybrid cars together with renewable energy sources have the potential to ameliorate the transport ecology, but they still have shortcomings that can be improved. An analysis of the functioning of modern electric and hybrid vehicles, concerning inertia utilization, has been done. The conclusion is that the inertia is not used properly and thus the energy or fuel consumptions deteriorate. Тhe proposed solution has the potential to significantly improve the energy and fuel consumptions of electric and hybrid vehicles, and their operating costs, to extend the expensive battery lives and the run per battery charge of electric vehicles.
