Comparison of different vehicles types-BEV, HEV & FCEV

Electric vehicles functions on electric propulsion or they may have an ICEs. An electric vehicle using a battery as its energy source is said to be a basic kind of EV. But there are some other energy source modes that are used in electric vehicles. Let us compare the different vehicles types through their various factors.

The electric vehicles can be categorised as follows

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV)

So here is the comparison of BEV, HEV and FCEV.

Comparison of different vehicles types-BEV, HEV & FCEV

	BEV	HEV	FCEV
Driving Component	Electric motor	Electric motor, ICE	Electric motor
Energy Source	Battery, Ultracapacitor	Battery, ICE, Ultracapacitor	Fuel Cell
Features	No emission Not dependent on oil Range depends largely on the type of battery used Available Commercially	Very little emission Long-range Can get power from both electric supply & fuel Complex structure having both electrical & mechanical drivetrains Available commercially	Very little or no emission High efficiency Not dependent on supply of electricity High price Available commercially
Problems	Battery price & capacity Charging time High price Availability of charging stations Range	Management of the energy source Battery & engine size optimization	Cost of fuel cell Feasible way to produce fuel Availability of fueling facilities
