What is Electric Vehicle or Electromobile

Today, hydrogen is recognized as a non-polluting energy carrier because it does not contribute to global warming if it is produced from renewable energy resources. This chapter presents one of the possibilities of using hydrogen fuel cells in the energy support of electric vehicle charging stations. A comparative study was presented for five situations in which fuel cells have different nominal powers, a study whose objective is to investigate the equipment capability, assuming their use as the first and only source of electricity in a future economy based on hydrogen, in which case the hydrogen fuel used by the fuel cell is available to the final consumer through a centralized distribution infrastructure. The main decision criteria taken into account include electricity generated by fuel cell, degree of autonomy from the classic electricity grid, total hydrogen consumption, energy purchased from the grid, excess energy, total CO2 emissions, initial investment, electricity unit prices, total cost calculated for 25 years of system life.
