Explain the energy storage systems used in different types of alternative fuel vehicles.
Alternative fuel vehicles rely on various energy storage systems to store and deliver energy for propulsion. Here are the energy storage systems commonly used in different types of alternative fuel vehicles: 1. Electric Vehicles (EVs): * Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs): BEVs use rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) or other advanced battery technologies to store electrical energy. These high-capacity batteries power the electric motor, providing the primary source of propulsion. * Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): PHEVs combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor and a battery pack. The battery pack in PHEVs is typically smaller than in BEVs, and it can be recharged by plugging into an external power source. 2. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs): * FCVs use fuel cell technology to convert hydrogen gas into el....
