Hydrogen-Powered Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles Compared to the Alternatives At the beginning of the 20th century, American drivers faced a fundamental choice: battery electric vehicles (BEVs) or gasoline-powered internal combustion vehicles (ICVs). In 1989 and 1900 more BEVs were sold than all gasoline ICVs and steam engines combined. Read Article

Clean Technology Investments - An Introduction to Clean Technology Investments Clean Technology investments are often seen as highly speculative and backing only the 'bleeding' edge of science innovation. If this was the case, then it would only suit those with a very high risk tolerance seeking large returns. Read Article

Battery Electric Vehicles vs. Hydrogen Vehicles In summary, DOE needs to stress the importance of a vehicle market transformation strategy for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in concert with the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate. Read Article
