Abstract :
The novel hybrid electric vehicle with assumed the battery and the reversible cell is proposed in this paper. The proposed hybrid electric vehicle is named Reversible Cell Electric Vehicle (RCEV). The fundamental concept and the operation principle of RCEV is illustrated and explained. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed RCEV which can drive the same distance in the less number of the hydrogen infrastructure (hydrogen station) as compared with the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) is discussed. Besides, efficiency and the capacity of the tank when it is introduced a water tank into a car are examined.
