Is It Economical to Convert ICE Car to Electric Car Using Conversion Kit

Get Electric Vehicle

While purchasing a brand-new electric car might not be feasible for everyone due to its higher upfront costs, people are looking for alternatives. converting existing internal combustion engine (ICE) cars into electric vehicles using conversion kits. Let us weigh the costs, benefits, and considerations associated with emerging trends.

Researchers propose low-temperature SOFC unit for reducing NOx and oxidizing HCs in lean-burn engine exhaust

Green Car Congress

Their SOFC system can be operated without consuming the anode fuel (a reductant) at temperatures near that of the engine exhaust to eliminate the need for reductant refilling and extra heating. The NO x concentration in the exhaust of an automotive gasoline engine with spark ignition can be as high as 4000 ppm. —Huang et al.
