The pure electric vehicles, for reserve, must carry heavy and expensive batteries—which add expense as well as weight—and must have access to high-powered recharging stations [ 1 ]. Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel.

The integration of these two innovations will result in a heat pump system with enhanced performance at a regeneration temperature of 80 °C and a system cost of less than $150 per kilowatt of thermal power. The PLSS consists of a highly compact, low-cost air pre-cooler that transfers the heat load to a TES system. ALPHA AWARDS.

The hybrid models available today use lead-acid ornickel-metal hydride batteries that are are proven, reliable, and fairlycheap, but their limited storage capacity means that the cars’ driving rangeusing electricity alone is short. Their solution to the cost of thenew-generation batteries is to separate them from the car itself.
