Technical review outlines challenges for both batteries and fuel cells as basis for electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

Theoretically, with renewable electricity, the 95 gCO 2 /km target could also be met by extended range electric vehicles with 40 miles all-electric range if 50% of driving is powered by the battery, or by fuel cell electric vehicles (FECVs), with hydrogen produced by water electrolysis. While the so-called post-LiBs, viz., Electrochem.
