What is Overview of Electric, Hybrid, and Fuel Cell Vehicles about?

## Abstract With the more stringent regulations on emissions and fuel economy, global warming and constraints on energy resources, the research, development and commercialization of electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles have been accelerated. This chapter reviews the state of the art of electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles with focus on their technical features and commercial road map. The fundamental features of electric, hybrid, and fuel fell vehicles are summarized. The importance of using engineering philosophy as overall guidance for research and development is emphasized. The architecture and functionality of powertrains is distinctly analyzed. The challenge of energy management is explored, the function and interaction of global control and local is discussed, and the possible types of appropriate control model are suggested. The success of commercialization of electric vehicles lies on the availability of three goodness factors, namely good product, good infrastructure, and good business model.
