The results of a national multilaboratory study of energy-storage propulsion systems for automobiles are given. The findings of the five participating panels are presented, including a technical and cost analysis for the energy-storage devices and resulting vehicles, as well as a discussion of national impact issues. The report is presented in four volumes: Volume 1 - Overview and Findings; Volume 2 - Energy Storage Devices; Volume 3 - Automotive Propulsion Systems; and Volume 4 - National Impact Issues. The purpose of the work reported in these volumes was to determine which energy-storage devices and propulsion systems are likely to provide credible alternatives to current and future petroleum-fueled automobiles. In this volume the operating, safety and performance characteristic of specific devices for electrochemical, mechanical, chemical and thermal energy storage are evaluated to determine their feasibility for use in automobile propulsion systems and the future research required for development of promising devices.
