An electric vehicle transport system makes conventional electric vehicles practical for cross-country or inter-city travel, and greatly decreases air pollution caused by emissions from combustion engine vehicles, and at the same time allows the vehicle occupant(s) to operate their vehicle electrical accessories as they are being transported, and arrive at their destination with fully charged batteries. A plurality of electric transport modules run on an electric rail guideway between loading and unloading stations and transport one or more individual electric powered vehicles, which may have a limited driving range, or fuel powered vehicles. The vehicles are driven onto the electric transport modules, secured to a parking platform, and the vehicle battery or electrical system is connected to an electrical power supply on the transport module. The occupant(s) selects and inputs their desired destination into a computerized control system of the electric transport module. As the modules transport the vehicles to an unloading station, the battery or batteries of the vehicle are recharged and the occupant(s) may operate their radio, air conditioner, heater, etc., without draining the vehicle battery or batteries. After arriving at the unloading station, the vehicle with a freshly recharged battery is uncoupled from the power supply and driven to the specific destination under its own power. Freight, mail, and other commodities may also be transported on the electric transport modules.
