How Efficient Is Your EV? It’s Complicated

Cars That Think

Why are we using a constant based on the combustion of gasoline in order to measure the efficiency of an electric car? The efficiencies are so different because internal-combustion engines convert a lot of energy to heat rather than to mechanical torque. For them, recharge efficiency might be just as important as MPGe rating.

Honda Plans to Launch Hydrogen Vehicle Using FCEV Technology

Electric Vehicles India

The hydrogen cycle has three phases: create, store/transport, and consume. It starts with renewable energy and using water electrolysis technology, electricity produced by using renewable energy sources is converted into green hydrogen. This hydrogen may be transferred by pipeline, land, and sea and stored as hydrogen.
