Hyundai and Iveco present electric van with hydrogen cell system – Image and sound – News

Even an electric vehicle with a fuel cell simply needs a battery. Because it is smaller than a normal EV. It wears out much faster.

In that case, the EV also has a lot less power at its disposal.

By the way, I’ll do it again because apparently no one gets it:

The battery of an electric vehicle can be damaged under normal conditions minimum 2000 cycles on. This becomes more and more as battery build-up becomes more favorable as the battery approaches 1C. For example: an i3 once started with a ~ 30 kWh battery. To reach the power (125kW (let’s say 130kW)) the battery must be discharged by 4C.

If you look at an id.3, the version with the larger battery pack has 77kWh available. While the power is 150 kW. This is a 2C discharge at its peak.

This can cause the battery to be built differently. This ensures a longer battery life.

In short: a battery you now have in your EV is already a different battery than it was 5 years ago.

Furthermore:

77kWh will take you (according to WLTP) 550km. If you look at 2,000 cycles, you get to about 1,000,000 kilometers. Keep in mind that you have an average of 90% of the available capacity (after all, the capacity is gradually decreasing. It gets to 900,000 kilometers.

I just don’t understand the perpetual obsession of people who think a battery degrades quickly. It just isn’t. Even a van’s battery is likely to survive the life of the bus itself.

There is currently 1 (!) Van available on the market that has more than 7 tons on the counter.
