million units, China will be the third-largest market for 48 V micro-hybrids despite having a more attractive total cost of ownership than 48 V micro-hybrids sold in the US. In 2024, just 8% of the market by dollar value will go to lead-carbon and nickel-zinc batteries, according to Lux. Europe will lead global demand with 2.6

Despite significant progress, fuel cell durability must be substantially increased and/or the cost of replacement fuel cell stacks must be substantially decreased. Many participants believe that government support for larger deployments (50-100 vehicles), and bigger hydrogen bus purchases, will help to bring down bus costs.

Its like having a second fuel tank that you always use first -- only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1/gallon. This means the more maintenance-free electrical systems of PHEVs offset the initial higher cost of batteries. You dont have to plug it in.

Alternative combinations, such as Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), which has a little better lifetime, are occasionally used. Two electrodes, one positive and one negative are sandwiched around an organic (carbon-containing) liquid to make up a lithium-ion battery.
