Comparison of Fuel Consumption, Fun to Drive and System Cost of the different powertrain concepts. However, the system cost of the Turbohybrid was 150% that of the baseline, while the system cost of the full hybrid was more than 300% that of the baseline.

In contrast, flow batteries can independently scale the power (electrode area) and energy (arbitrarily large storage volume) components of the system by maintaining all of the electro-active species in fluid form. For this reason, a growing number of engineers have focused their attention on flow-battery technology. Background.

With BEVs and ICVs of similar size, one can travel farther on biomass grown on a hectare of land when it is converted to electricity than when it is converted to ethanol.For this case, the gross transportation output per hectare is 85% greater for bioelectricity than cellulosic ethanol.
