Tens of thousands of kilometers of on-road EV success – in subcompact cars to 4.8 ton delivery vans – have demonstrated that Electric Fuel’s revolutionary zinc-air fuel cell, which uses commercially-available, low cost zinc, is a robust solution for zero-emission transportation.
In the USA:
- Successful demonstration of full-size, all-electric, zero-emission passenger bus
- Specific energy of 200 Wh/kg
- Eight-hour continuous service
- Record-breaking range under fully-loaded city driving conditions
- Rapid anode exchange; freedom from “plug-in-and-wait” recharge
- Operating costs comparable to standard diesel buses
In Germany:
- Electric Fuel’s zinc-air batteries served as primary energy source for hybrid cargo vans driving more that 60,000 km in all weather field testing for the German Postal Authority
- Vehicles serviced at the Electric Fuel regeneration plant in Bremen
In Italy:
- Electric Fuel EV technology installed in subcompact cars and large vans
- Establishment of EF anode regeneration plant
In the Netherlands:
- Passenger van equipped with EF zinc-air batteries demonstrated
In Scandinavia
- License agreement to establish and operate Electric Fuel infrastructure signed for Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Petersburg, Russia
- Mission-specific chargers and batteries
- World’s first power bank for charging multiple cellphones, video cameras & personal digital assistants.
- Powerful, lightweight solutions for soldiers on the move
- Batteries for UAV and MAV platforms
- High capacity for long missions
- Specific energy of up to 400 Wh/kg
- Stable even under direct fire
- Tens of thousands of units used by US forces in Iraq
