Title: ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY UPDATE
Accession Number: 00367444
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) may offer some advantages over gasoline and alternately fueled vehicles in terms of operating cost and as a hedge against future fuel shortages. However, existing EV technologies need to be advanced so that EVs will be as easy to operate and maintain as gasoline vehicles. An overview of some areas in which technology improvement is needed and is now being addressed by participants in the Electric Vehicle Demonstration Project of the U.S. Department of Energy is provided. These areas include state-of-charge monitoring, charging, battery capacity testing, electrolyte management, and battery connectors. (Author)
