Why Battery Electric Vehicle and Not Fuel Cell?

• Fuel Cells consumes 4 times as much electricity per mile as similarly sized Battery Electric Vehicle.
• Fuel Cells require electricity to compress Hydrogen.
• Fuel Cells-Hydrogen emits 12.5 kg of Carbon-di-Oxide per kg of Hydrogen produced.
• Driving range of Battery Electric Vehicle is 2 times compared to Fuel Cell Vehicle using same vehicle weight.
• Fuel Cell Vehicle fueling and system is complicated compared to Battery Electric Vehicle plug-in system.
• Fuel cell hydrogen tank safety is a major concern.

…Dr. Surajit Sengupta, Director of Battery R&D at Hybrid Technologies, states “our objective is to create the next generation of lithium ion polymer battery that is environmentally non-toxic, safe, less expensive and more powerful.” (read more.)
