EV are becoming superior day by day, but most of the vehicles are not sustainable enough to meet the needs and performance.
Hydrogen vehicles on the other hand are on the much costlier side.
What could be the possible replacements for them?
1-Hydrogen- Europe has currently decided to invest on it more than Li Ion batteriy tech and to have fuel cell commercial vehicles by 2040-2050.
2- Natural Gas, Methanol, Biodiesel- Always good contenders to gasoline and diesel
3- Supercapacitors, flywheels for short term high power applications
4- Battery with contactless charging or battery charging by pantograph on highways. For charging while travelling.
5- Hybrids: battery + supercapacitor
6- nuclear power: already used for large ships or submarines
Electric vehicles are the future in Western Europe in the next 15 years. They say that in Sweeden 1 in 2 cars bought in the next years could be electric. The combination of petroleum engine and electric motor is very good for performance. Electric cars with Li batteriers are made in China and France but after 6 years the Li battery has to be replaced.
