Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Power Sources, Models,
Sustainability, Infrastructure and the Market reviews the
performance, cost, safety, and sustainability of battery systems
for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs),
including nickel-metal hydride batteries and Li-ion batteries.
Throughout this book, especially in the first chapters, alternative
vehicles with different power trains are compared in terms of
lifetime cost, fuel consumption, and environmental impact. The
emissions of greenhouse gases are particularly dealt with. The
improvement of the battery, or fuel cell, performance and
governmental incentives will play a fundamental role in determining
how far and how substantial alternative vehicles will penetrate
into the market. An adequate recharging infrastructure is of
paramount importance for the diffusion of vehicles powered by
batteries and fuel cells, as it may contribute to overcome the
so-called range anxiety."" Thus, proposed battery charging
techniques are summarized and hydrogen refueling stations are
described. The final chapter reviews the state of the art of the
current models of hybrid and electric vehicles along with the
powertrain solutions adopted by the major automakers.
