Monique closes her EV’s fueling port and heads onto the highway with enough stored energy to drive 640 kilometers (400 miles). Flow batteries are safe, stable, long-lasting, and easily refilled, qualities that suit them well for balancing the grid, providing uninterrupted power, and backing up sources of electricity.

In August 2014, Hyundai’s ix35 fuel cell model was driven a record distance for a hydrogen-powered production car on a single tank, covering 435 miles across three Scandinavian countries. This renewable production capacity is increasingly important to ensure the existing power grid can accept more renewable sources.

Wind : Nordex. Owing to limits in battery capacity and driving range (currently 100-200 km (62-124 miles) for a medium-sized car) and a current recharging time of several hours, BEVs are ideally suited to smaller cars and shorter trips, i.e. urban driving (including new transportation models such as car sharing).

, dependent on route profile, driving style and payload, is between 120 and 160 km (75 to 99 miles); at very low outdoor temperatures the range may be less. By way of comparison: the most powerful conventional e-up! These range distances work especially well in urban areas and for the majority of commuters, Volkswagen notes.

Environmental Effects and Benefits to top Wont all these cars require us to build even more power plants? Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants? And utilities are increasingly being mandated to increase their percentage of power from renewable sources. How about a car-mounted wind-generator?
