Abstract :
In this paper, an outline of a project has been covered in which a ZiP´r4 electric scooter was first analyzed and later converted to a hybrid PEM fuel cell - Li-ion battery powered vehicle. An automatic hybrid controller for the vehicle power management is also proposed. This design can be implemented in the longer run on general vehicles; thus creating independence from fossil fuels.
