ZESTFUL: Prototype Plug-in Fuel Cell Hybrid
Quote:
UK researchers are developing a zero-emissions plug-in hybrid London Taxi powered by a large high-energy Zebra battery pack and a small 6 kW hydrogen fuel cell stack that essentially functions as a range extender...
The purpose of the project is to explore the potential for using a small fuel cell stack in conjunction with a more robust energy storage system—essentially using a plug-in hybrid architecture to downsize the fuel cell stack. This theoretically can reduce the cost and engineering issues attendant with an application that relies upon a fuel cell for primary power.
