Future
The future was unclear because of the low range and small lifespan of the batteries. But there are several developments which could bring back electric vehicles outside of their current field of application -- namely operational yards and indoor operation. The first improvement[1] was to decouple the electric motor from the battery through electronic control while employing ultra-capacitors to buffer large but short power demands and recuperable braking energy. The development of new cell types compared with intelligent cell management improved both weak points mentioned above. The cell management is not only able to monitor the health of the cells but by having a redundant cell configuration (one cell more than needed) and a sophisticated switched wiring it is possible to condition one cell after the other while the rest are on duty. Perhaps the most important point is that a monovalent operation (electric only) is no longer considered dogma. The use of fuel cells instead of internal combustion engines can create propulsion systems that are nearly emissions-free (regarding local emissions). In an electric drive vehicle, the torque is supplied to the wheels by an electric motor is equivalent to taking up to 170 cars off the road.
Airport and seaport ground support
Airports across the United States are turning to electric ground support equipment and jet way power to reduce their overall emissions. Airport electric technologies include baggage tugs to convey baggage between the terminal and aircraft; baggage belt loaders to load and unload bags from the aircraft; air stairs for passenger access to the aircraft; wheelchair lifts; and pushback tractors to move the aircraft away from the terminal once passengers are on board. The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena (Bob Hope) Airport in 2005 inaugurated a $1.3 million system of 42 battery chargers for electric ground service equipment (eGSE) at all 14 airline gates of Bob Hope Airport. The airport authority president noted that the airport?s installation of the chargers, and Southwest?s rapid conversion to their use, places Bob Hope Airport at the forefront of reducing air pollution from ground support equipment.
