Book Description

Publication Date: August 15, 1984 | ISBN-10: 044442315X | ISBN-13: 978-0444423153

Electric road vehicles provide an attractive means of alleviating oil problems but their development has been inhibited by the unavailability of an effective, economic power source. This book examines all aspects of research into and development of electrochemical power sources for traction applications.

Editorial Reviews

Review

For the past two or three decades, several schools have made attempts at the development of electrochemical power sources... most of these attempts have suffered from the absence of a comprehensive treatise which examines all aspects of electrochemical power sources for traction purposes until McNicol and Rand assembled all acclaimed world experts in the field of electric vehicles. This treatise is thus a great boon to researchers in the field. It will help research workers with all authentic data on the candidate batteries and fuel cells; it will aid government in its decision making process and above all, it will give confidence to the industries involved in such projects. The Bulletin of Electrochemistry wishes a wide reception to the book from all concerned.
