The major purpose of the present study is to assess the state of the art in the technologies on which the future development of electric highway vehicles depends. The assessment is made on the basis that there will be no major change in the patterns of urban transportation and focuses upon the technical requirements of the vehicle. As a framework for the study, technical and, to a lesser extent, cost criteria were established for six classes of electric vehicles, most of which correspond closely in performance to existing conventionally powered types. On the basis of these criteria the prospects for vehicle application of various electric motor and control systems and a wide range of electrical power sources including batteries, fuel cells, and engine-generator-battery hybrids are compared. The study identifies the most promising systems for further development and estimates the magnitude of the shortfall in their present characteristics. Recommendations are made for the expansion of future effort in these areas, taking into account the expected contributions from existing programs in the public and private sectors of the economy.
