Extended-range EVs, which can be charged with a gas-powered generator, may offer a solution. EREVs still have environment-friendly advantages over internal combustion engine vehicles.
Over 13 million hybrid electric vehicles as of 2019. [12] 5.7 million neat-ethanol only light-vehicles built in Brazil since 1979, [13] with 2.4 to 3.0 million vehicles still in use by 2003. [14] [15] and 1.22 million units as of December 2011. [16] 70,200 fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) powered with hydrogen by the end of 2022. [3]
The drawback of using a shared platform is cost inefficiencies. While the up-front cost is likely much higher for dedicated EV and gas-powered platforms, down-the-line efficiencies of scale and ...
Gas cars also refuel more quickly than even the fastest-charging EVs, reducing downtime and overall trip length on longer journeys.Fixing a gas car tends to be less expensive as well, despite the ...
A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is an electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell, sometimes in combination with a small battery or supercapacitor, to power its onboard electric motor. Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.
Methanol and ethanol are incompatible with some polymers. The alcohol reacts with the polymers causing swelling, and over time oxygen breaks down the carbon-carbon bonds in the polymer causing a reduction in tensile strength. For the past few decades though, most cars have been designed to tolerate up to 10% ethanol (E10) without problem.
Beginning with the model year 1999, an increasing number of vehicles in the world are manufactured with engines that can run on any fuel from 0% ethanol up to 100% ethanol without modification. Many cars and light trucks (a class containing minivans, SUVs and pickup trucks) are designed to be flexible-fuel vehicles using ethanol blends up to 85 ...
German luxury brand BMW announced full-year 2023 results Thursday, highlighted by global deliveries climbing 6.4% to 2.554 million units. BMW’s global revenue jumped 9% to 155.5 billion euros ...
