Abstract
A vehicle drive system includes: a primary drive motor and a secondary drive motor; a battery; a capacitor that is connected in-series with the battery; a first power line that supplies a total aggregate voltage of the battery and the capacitor; a second power line that supplies a battery voltage; and a third power line that supplies a cell voltage. The first power line, the second power line, and the third power line are configured such that the battery voltage is higher than the cell voltage and that the total voltage is higher than the battery voltage.
