The mining industry is currently looking to implement electric vehicles into the underground tunnels of mines to reduce the amount of carbon pollution in these tunnels. Electric vehicles offer the benefits of no carbon emissions and less generated heat. The main challenge of an electric vehicle lies in the form of the energy storage system. The energy storage system currently used in electric vehicles consists mainly of large banks of batteries. Batteries have the advantage of being energy dense, which implies that the stored energy can be discharged for an extended period of time. Opposing the energy dense sources is the power dense energy sources. These sources have the capability of discharging all of its stored energy within a short period of time. An example of such an energy source is a supercapacitor. The rough terrain mine vehicle is driven by a supercapacitor bank and a battery connected to an energy source management system, which reaps the advantages of both energy sources
