As an example, Yokoyama used the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) hydrogen storage tank. That compares to 33% for an EV (with gas-fired power generation producing the electricity); 34% for a Prius-like hybrid; and 19% for a conventional gasoline internal combustion engine.

The maximum electric load potential of the battery, which consists of 324 lithium-ion polymer cells, is 480 kW. Benefits of this solution include the vehicle's low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution—ideal conditions for optimum handling, and something the electric-drive SLS AMG shares with its gasoline sibling.

The Q7 PHEV will arrive in dealerships in Germany in 2016, and will likely come to the US, although perhaps with a gasoline-engine variant. Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer.
