H2One integrates a photovoltaic power generation system with batteries for storing output power; a hydrogen-producing water electrolysis unit; solid state hydrogen storage—a MmNi 5 (Mischmetal-nickel) alloy); and a hydrogen fuel cell unit. MmNi 5 alloys belong to a class known as AB 5 -type alloys. Click to enlarge.

Volkswagen executives have been hinting for awhile now about taking a different approach to high-energy-density electrical storage for long-range electric vehicles than the more “conventional” next-generation Li-ion or Li-metal battery pathways. This increases both the life of the battery and the amount of energy it can store.

The electric power generated by recuperation is stored in a bank of supercapacitors. These electricity storage units are characterized by a high power density. An inverter converts the stored direct current into alternating current in order to drive the electric motor.

It’s called Electric Island. You’re not going to be able to pull a Class 8 truck up to a consumer charging station and charge it towing the trailer. They’re good at pumping things out of the ground, storing it, refining it, piping it or trucking it to a place, compressing it or putting into the tank and then dispensing it.
