Which of the 3 basic EV drivetrains - all-Battery BEV, plug-in hybrid PHEV, hydrogen fuel cell HFCEV - offers the most benefits, advantages, applications and potential to reduce fuel/energy consumption, emissions AND insane traffic? The correct answer is PHEV tech which should garner 60% of EV need. BEV tech serves the remainder mostly in lightweight vehicles. The heavier the vehicle, the more plug-in hybrid tech is the only option. Combustible Hydrogen stores at lower pressure for use in an ICEngine matched to PHEV hybrid drivetrain.
