This application is directed to an apparatus for providing electrical charge to a vehicle. The apparatus can comprise a driven mass, a generator, a capacitor storage device, and a battery storage device. The driven mass can rotate in response to a kinetic energy of the vehicle and is coupled to a shaft such that rotation of the driven mass causes the shaft to rotate. The generator can generate an electrical output based on a mechanical input coupled to the shaft such that rotation of the shaft causes the mechanical input to rotate. The capacitor storage device can receive at least a portion of the electrical output from the generator. The capacitor storage device can store at least the portion of the electrical output. The capacitor storage device can convey at least the portion of the electrical output received from the generator to the battery storage device.

An electrical storage module includes: an electrical storage device; a case in which an electrical storage device is housed; and a lid configured to cover an opening part of the case. The case includes a groove part at an outer periphery of the opening part, and the lid includes a rib configured to be inserted into the groove part. A sealing member is present between the rib and the groove part.
