Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Power Sources, Models, Sustainability, Infrastructure and the Market Book Description

This multi-author, 800-page handbook provides information on alternative vehicular power systems (e.g., non-internal combustion engines), encompassing advances in the rapidly evolving battery, hybrid and fuel-cell technology domains. These technologies are described in terms of their technical efficiency, fuel economy, environmental impact, energy sources and costs, and are extensively compared and contrasted to those of conventional vehicles. For the most advanced concepts in development (fuel cell- and long-range electric vehicles), the issue of recharging infrastructures is addressed, as are case studies of alternative vehicles proposed by major automakers. Fitting a manifest market need, this volume will be an invaluable resource for electrochemical engineers and battery and fuel cell experts working in research institutions, universities and industries worldwide.
Contributions from the worlds leading industry and research experts
Executive summaries of specific case studies
Information on basic research and application approaches
