Electric vehicles Vs Fuel Cell Vehicles

Image
Future Mobility EVs and FCVs are developed and more developmental activities are taking place towards self-sustainable transportation at national and international level. the main scope is to reduce the carbon emission and produce less wastage on manufacturing.  Electric Vehicles (EVs) are more widely adopted and offer better energy efficiency. They are suited for personal vehicles, especially in urban areas where charging infrastructure is available. Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) offer longer ranges and faster re-fuelling but are limited by hydrogen production and infrastructure challenges. FCVs may have a future in heavy-duty and long-range transportation if hydrogen technology improves. Below are some of the key difference between electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles or also called as hydrogen vehicles.

What are Electric Vehicles ?

Image
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are vehicles powered by electric motors, using energy stored in batteries or another energy storage device. Unlike conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles that run on fossil fuels, EVs rely on electricity, making them more environmentally friendly due to reduced emissions. Types of Electric Vehicles Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs): These vehicles are fully electric, powered solely by rechargeable battery packs. Examples include Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf, and Chevrolet Bolt. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): PHEVs have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. They can run on electricity for a certain range before switching to gasoline. Examples include the Toyota Prius Prime and Chevrolet Volt. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs): HEVs also have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine, but the battery is charged by the engine and regenerative braking, not by plugging in. Examples include the Toyota Prius
