Commercial energy storage vehicles are customized on demand

What are the different types of energy storage solutions in electric vehicles?

Battery, Fuel Cell, and Super Capacitor are energy storage solutions implemented in electric vehicles, which possess different advantages and disadvantages.

What is energy storage in EVs?

In EVs, the type of energy storage is, together with the drive itself, one of the crucial components of the system.

What are alternative energy storage for vehicles?

Another alternative energy storage for vehicles are hydrogen FCs, although, hydrogen has a lower energy density compared to batteries.

How to develop an optimum EV with a combination of FC and SC?

The main limitations for developing an optimum EV with a combination of FC as a primary source of energy as well as a battery pack and SCs as auxiliary energy systems are: Finding the best algorithm for the energy management system of the vehicle. Increasing the number of hydrogen stations to refuel the hydrogen tank and power the FC stack.

Can hydrogen fuel cells be used as energy storage solution for EVs?

The implementation of hydrogen Fuel Cells (FCs) as energy storage solution for EVs is another approach to reduce charging times and increase the range of the vehicle [ 14 ]. Furthermore, hydrogen can be produced from sterilized water through renewable energy sources and consequently, can be seen as a clean fuel.

Will FCEVs be competitive with conventional vehicles?

Overall, based on the information provided by the IEA, it is estimated that FCEVs will be competitive with conventional vehicles from a cost perspective in the near future. Based on the proposed comprehensive review, the installation of hydrogen on-board reformer is suggested for FCHEVs, which provides both battery energy storage and SC bank.
