What is it about?
To ensure long-distance transportation, the use of electric vehicles is hampered by the lack of supply of electric power, and, consequently, the infrastructure for charging traction batteries. The solution to this problem may be the installation of an electric power generation unit on a vehicle directly during movement. This installation must ensure the necessary level of environmental friendliness during operation. These installations can run on hydrogen or natural gas.

Why is it important?
The preservation of the environment is a very urgent task today. In this regard, work is underway in many countries of the world on the design and production of electric vehicles. However, the operation of such vehicles is inextricably linked with the creation of an infrastructure for charging traction batteries. In urban conditions, the construction of infrastructure does not require the creation of special conditions. This research will optimize the charging process for traction batteries.
Perspectives
Maintenance of electric machines is much easier than that of internal combustion engines. The absence of a lubrication system, the inertia balance of the reciprocating motion, and the overall simplicity of the design make them extremely reliable and maintainable. The fuel cell power plant can be used in a wide range of vehicles. On mainline vehicles, the important advantages of an electric motor are its reliability, high efficiency and high torque. The design process of electric vehicles requires the determination of performance characteristics in accordance with the specified operating conditions. Electric vehicles for urban transportation do not require a mobile charging system during operation. For mainline transportation, it is necessary to provide a mobile charging system, for example, using fuel cells.
