The paper analyzes the possibility for replacement hydrocarbon fuels by energy storage devices in transport. The technical characteristics of the modern batteries and ultracapacitors are presented, their specific parameters are estimated. Energy and power requirements for various driving styles of the vehicles are estimated. The determination of requirements for energy storage devices and the evaluation of applicability of energy storage units are demonstrated in the article.
