No Battery... No BEVs 😕
Well not really, you do NOT need a Battery Fuel Cell per se to power an Electric Motor...
Basically, a fuel cell is a source for Energy with a finite amount of Capacity per Unit mass/volume, known as Gravimetric/Volumetric Energy Density
Of course you never get that in real-life. I'll share the analysis based on real-life average range of ~92% EPA Range for seasonal changes and typical city/highway driving
Now, Let's find out which of the two EVs is the better option over an assumed lifetime mileage
of 240,000 km
Summary Spec and Analysis Benchmark
Summary Spec and Analysis Benchmark
🚗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲:92% x 436km = ~400km [250mi]
🔋 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀 :
The TESLA Model 3 SR LFC EV has a 60kWh Lithium Ion Fuel Cell Battery [LiB] Pack of ~465kg, i.e. 23.25x or 2225% heavier than XFC EV2.0 fuel tank
XFC EV2.0 has a biomass fuel tank of only 20kg,
i.e. 95.7% lighter than Model 3 Battery Pack
💰 𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀
Model 3 SR LFC BEV costs you 3.9¢/km assuming average Electricity rate of 20¢/kWh, i.e. 1.95x or ~95% more expensive - almost double
XFC EV2.0 costs only 2.0¢/km assuming average biomass cost of 40¢/kg, i.e. 48.7% cheaper
🕛 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲:
TESLA BEV:
20min for 60% Charge Super Charger
4.8km/hr ~ 48km/hr *
*depends on your installed TESLA Home Charging Solution
XFC EV2.0: ZERO minutes, thanks to Self-Charging onboard micro Electric Power Generator
🌪 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 [𝟮𝟰𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬𝗸𝗺]
ICE: 55 tCO2, i.e. 100%
BEV: 39 tCO2, i.e. 29% less emissions than ICE
XFC EV2.0: 26.2 tCO2, i.e. 52% / 32.8% less emission than ICE/BEV
*detailed calculations are available in my extended post article in the link below
Conclusion Summary
With billions of dollar poured into BEV Ecosystem, BEVs are here to stay
Understanding how BEV technology works and the performance limiting factors in consideration of your specific driver profile and local market conditions are key to to unlocking your vehicle of choice buy decision and Return-on-Investment goals
As per the analysis above, while Battery fuel cell EVs make a good case in terms of immediate fuel costs and overall emissions, the choice of Fuel Cell Energy Source makes all the difference
