The design for the fuel cell power system for golf carts/NEVs would be a universal range extending power package that would be added to existing vehicle designs. The fuel cell would provide 2.5 kW of net power to the NEV, providing substantial range extension and enhanced performance over the entire duty cycle. This on-board fuel cell recharging system could triple the operating time of an existing NEV battery pack, making a two-hour pack last 6 hours. Providing a range increase from 25-50 miles per charge to more than 100-150 miles per charge. The fuel cell would be hydrogen fueled from a compressed tank which can be refueled in minutes instead of the lengthy 8-10 hour charge required by conventional battery NEVs. The fuel cell would run continuously while the vehicle is in operation, keeping the state of charge of the battery pack as high as possible during operation. This constant on-board recharging will provide extra power to the user and greatly extend battery life and reduce battery recharge cycle time.
Hydrogen would be stored onboard the vehicle to provide approximately 6 hours of full-power operation before refueling. In moderate quantities, this system could be cost effective because of the dramatically lower daily fuel and maintenance costs compared to battery recharging. In higher volumes of thousands of units the fuel cell power system can be cost competitive in terms of initial capital costs and therefore have a drastically lower cost of ownership over the life of the system.
In addition to increasing range and driving performance of the vehicle the fuel cell system will also mobile power generation with on-board AC outlets that tools, appliances or electronics can be plugged into for up to 24 hours of continuous operation. This makes NEV fleets a perfect tool to aid in the on-the-ground coordination and response efforts of first-responders to emergencies whether they be power outages, natural disasters or security concerns.
Reg Technologies Inc. owns the exclusive distribution rights for Canada and REGI U.S., Inc. has the option for the rights for Europe.
