2The latest electric cars advantage and energy
efficiency advantage
- Latest Electric cars(EV) have advantages over
fuel cell vehicles (FCV) in certain areas, which
makes EVs a better choice in certain
applications. The efficiency of EV is
unparalleled, and it always requires more energy
from point A to point B of the FCV. The most
efficient production EV currently available is
the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV, which has an EPA
rating of 260 Wh/mile city/310 Wh/mile
highway/280 Wh/mile combination (equivalent to
128 MPGe city/109 MPGe highway/119 MPGe merge).
The higher efficiency is partly due to the
ability to capture regenerative braking energy,
but also because the electrochemical reaction in
the battery is more effective than the reaction
in PEMFC. In order for FCV to regain regenerative
braking energy, the PEMFC system must also act as
an electrolyzer to decompose water into H2 and
O2. This will require a source of water on the
vehicle, which can be pumped through the fuel
cell. This water source will take up space and
may be exhausted during long trips, and it will
also require supplemental water. Obtaining water
leaving the fuel cell cathode will increase the
complexity of the system, while obtaining water
from sources outside the vehicle will require
additional pipelines.

- EV is also a relatively simple technology and
does not require too much manufacturing cost. In
fact, for commuters or city cars, especially for
drivers who never need to drive far and can
charge their electric cars in the garage at
night, electric cars are hard to beat. The
efficiency ranges from traditional internal
combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric
vehicles, with FCV in the middle.Electric
vehicles are also more responsive than FCV
drawing current from the battery is faster than
(1) pumping hydrogen from the fuel tank and (2)
supplying gas to the fuel cell to (3) generating
equivalent electricity in the PEMFC. Provide
power to the electric motor that drives the
vehicle.
