Zusammenfassung

Electricity-based fuels allow a climate neutral operation of powertrains, including internal combustion engines (ICE). However, today such energy sources are characterized by higher costs compared to fossil fuels, which is not acceptable to the customer. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle appears to be a beneficial solution. With a conveniently designed battery capacity, most of the average driving distance can be realized electrically, while the ICE has advantages for long-distance trips.
