As utilities shifted to more reliable alternating-current systems, they phased out these costly backup batteries. Then, as electricity entrepreneurs expanded power generation and transmission capacity, they faced the new problem of what to do with all the cheap off-peak, nighttime electricity they could now produce.

Although electric vehicles have lower tailpipe emissions than gasoline powered vehicles, the changes in emissions associated with vehicle electrification on a life cycle basis will depend on the emissions associated with the operations of the power plants used to charge the battery. —Weis et al.

Solely on the basis of the mass considerations above, we can conclude that battery-powered options are favored for small vehicles when short-range and long refueling times are acceptable. Packaging and high volume cost analyses of projected technologies are outside of the scope of this Perspective. Wagner et al. Wagner et al.

Nonetheless, hydrogen fuel cell cars are, like pure battery powered cars, classed as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV). If taken from such sources, hydrogen is a fossil fuel, and is not a renewable resource. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term. The reasons are numerous. .

0:00 / 4:40 Battery power for Chrysler The Circuit will be a purely plug-in car - there will be no gas tank or gasoline engine at all - with an expected range of 150 to 200 miles on a full charge. A Fiat-based battery powered small car is slated for production shortly after the Circuit, according to Chryslers viability plan.
