hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

 It carries hydrogen in special high pressure tanks. Oxygen is the another incredient for
power generating process.
 Electricity is generate from the fuel cells goes to an electric motor, which drives the wheels.
 Excess energy is store in storage systems like batteries or super capacitors.
 It only produce water as a byproduct of its power generating process, which is ejected out of
the vehicle through the tailpipes.
 A major current obstacle in adopting this technology is the scarcity of hydrogen fuel
stations.
 There are also concerns regarding safety in case of flammable hydrogen leaking out of the
tanks. The cost of fuel cells is greater than ICE.
 If these obstacles were eliminated, FCEVs could really represent the future of vehicles.
 Advantages :

that the PHEV uses electric propulsion as the main driving force. So these vehicles requires
thier capacity than HEVs.
 It states in “all electric” mode, runs on electricity and when the batteries are low in charge, it
calls on the ICE to provide a boost or to change up the battery pack. Here the ICE is used to
extend the range.

 It can charge their batteries directly from the grid.

 They also have the facility to utilize regenerative braking.
 PHEV ability to run solely on electricity for most of the time, makes it carbon food print
smaller than HEVs.
 They consume less fuel as well and thus its associated cost is reduced.

 History of electric vehicle
a) The first EV was built by Frenchman Gustava Trouve in 1881. It was tricycle powere
by a 0.1 HP direct current motor fed by lead acid batteries.
b) A vehicle similar to this type was built in 1883 by two british professors. The vehicle
was operated as a Taxi in a newyork city.
c) Regenerative braking is a most significant technical advance invention. It is invented by
Frenchman M.A darracq on this 1987 coupet this method makes it possible to recover
the vehicles kinetic energy while braking and recharging the batteries
d) In 1966, general motors built the electrovan which was propelled by induction motors
that were fed by invertors built with thyristors.
e) During the 1960s and 1970s, some research on electric vehicles was made based on
environmental triggering.
f) During 1990s the electric automobiles could never compete with gasoline automobiles
for range and performance.
g) The reason is that in batteries, the energy is store in the metal of electrodes. Its weight is
more than gasoline for the same energy content. The automotive industry abandone the
electric vehicles to conduct research on hybrid electric vehicles.
