CalCars and PHEVs Frequently Asked Questions

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Fuel cell cars should be plug-in hybrids so that the fuel cell is used only for extended range, and the fuel cell stack and hydrogen storage can be smaller. Lithium-Ion batteries share many characteristics with NiMH. Ive heard lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous if they overheat. What about battery safety?
