  • Abstract
    Electric drives for vehicles have been the subject of much discussion within the past few years. One of the most intriguing aspects of electric drives is the power source itself and its effect upon the electric drive system. Will the system be the same for a fuel cell power source as it will be for batteries or rotating power sources? Will a fuel cell power source be more adaptable to a dc or an ac drive system? What effect, if any, will this new form of power have on the physical characteristics of a vehicle? There are many more questions that need answers.
