Qiang Dai and Christian Lastoskie found that BEVs and FCVs in particular offer significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, especially if carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies are implemented at the fuel conversion facilities. The FCV has an overall energy conversion efficiency about 30%. —Dai and Lastoskie.

A new spatially-explicit life cycle assessment of five different “sun-to-wheels” conversion pathways—ethanol from corn or switchgrass for internal combustion vehicles (ICVs); electricity from corn or switchgrass for battery-electric vehicles (BEVs); and photovoltaic electricity for BEVs—found a strong case for PV BEVs.

Li-ion battery specific energy density is presumed to be 150 Wh kg -1 , and fuel cell specific weight is 3 kg kW -1. Total lifetime driven distance is 150,000 km (93,206 miles). Direct photobiological splitting using hydrogenase performed well compared to other direct solar energy conversion pathways for H 2 production.

There are companies that are reinventing the lead-acid battery to make it more competitive with lithium-ion and nickel metal hydride in terms of storage capacity versus weight, durability, and cold weather performance. Many of the first Prius hybrids that were released are still running strong on their NiMH batteries after 100,000+ miles.
