Electric and Hybrid Vehicles 2010 English

Description:
This multi-author, 670-page handbook provides information on alternative vehicular power systems, encompassing advances in the rapidly evolving battery, hybrid and fuel cell technology domains. Vehicles based on these technologies are described in terms of performance, fuel economy, environmental impact, energy sources and costs, and are extensively compared and contrasted to conventional vehicles.For the most advanced concepts in development (fuel cell and long-range electric vehicles), the issue of recharging infrastructure is addressed, as are case studies of alternative vehicles proposed by major automakers.

In the last 10–15 years, people have become acquainted with vehicles powered not only by an internal combustion engine (using gasoline, diesel or gas), but also by an electric motor. These hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) afford a reduction of fuel consumption in city driving and reduce emissions, but this is only the first stretch of a long road that will hopefully end with zero-emission electric vehicles (EVs) allowing long-range driving.
