For comparison, the US DOE’s 2020 target for the levelized cost of hydrogen (production only) is $2.30/kg. Comprehensive analysis of various factors, including rechargeable battery and electrolyzer capacities, enables the estimation of technology levels required for low-cost hydrogen production. This approximately converts to US$1.92

The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. Flow batteries are safe, stable, long-lasting, and easily refilled, qualities that suit them well for balancing the grid, providing uninterrupted power, and backing up sources of electricity.

Whilst hydrogen today is extracted from natural gas and is already a global, multi-billion dollar industry used in a wide range of industrial applications, it is also produced from renewable sources like solar, wind or biogas without the need to use fossil fuels. Of course, this also has the merit of producing so-called “green hydrogen”.

Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. The comparison keeps being raised, though studies are conclusive: The "well-to-wheel" emissions of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles.

With a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph), the average range of the e-up!, dependent on route profile, driving style and payload, is between 120 and 160 km (75 to 99 miles); at very low outdoor temperatures the range may be less. These range distances work especially well in urban areas and for the majority of commuters, Volkswagen notes.

Combined with the increasing scarcity and cost of energy resources, it is therefore vital to develop a range of technologies that will ensure the long-term sustainability of mobility in Europe. With a driving range and performance comparable to ICEs, FCEVs are the lowest- carbon solution for medium/larger cars and longer trips.

In comparison, EV engines run on lithium batteries. If it’s manufactured on a ‘dirty’ power grid it becomes a major source of emissions over the EV lifecycle. Another common concern for Kiwi drivers is that even if a charging station is within range, the time it takes to charge the vehicle will be too long and inconvenient.
