EnerFuel’s High Temperature PEM fuel cell provides the benefit of high power density, the ability to use traditional and readily available fuels (diesel, gasoline, methanol, and others), and lower costs through a reduction of Balance of Plant.
EnerFuel is able to provide fuel cell and battery technology (through our sister company, EnerDel) for range extended electric vehicles. EnerFuel is searching for developmental partnerships and ways to become more globally involved in demonstration projects.
EnerFuel is seeking:
- Government funded fuel cell projects
- Electric Vehicle OEM partners
- Fleet Vehicle operators who are interested in fuel cell electric vehicles
Applications
- Range Extension of Cars
- Delivery vehicles
- Police and emergency vehicles
- Idle eliminators
- Material Handling
EnerFuel has integrated a fuel cell with a lithium ion battery in a hybrid electric vehicle.
Advantages of Fuel Cells for Range Extension of Electric Vehicles
Fuel Cells are an attractive alterative to ICE for electric vehicle manufacturers looking for ways to increase driving range and minimize the need for connecting to the grid. Fuel cells can extend the power density of Electric Vehicles without compromising size and weight requirements, and while improving the performance of the vehicle to meet the range expectations of today’s consumer.
