Issues and Foresight
Electric vehicles
All-electric vehicles operate with a battery and an electric motor. The large-capacity battery has to be recharged with the vehicle stationary at a charging station.
Issues and Foresight
Hybrid vehicles
The vehicle is equipped with a combined IC/electric powertrain system and two energy storage systems: a fuel tank and a battery.
