IPRO 313 - Refuelable Electric Car

Share

This IPRO is designing, building, and testing electric vehicles powered by zinc-air fuel cells (ZAFCs). The majority of electric and hybrid vehicles produced commercially are powered with lithium ion batteries or nickel-metal hydride batteries. The research community is currently intrigued about hydrogen fuel cells and super-capacitors. The team at IIT chooses to explore an alternative to both, ZA
