The results of a national multilaboratory study of energy-storage propulsion systems for automobiles are given. The findings of the five participating panels are presented, including a technical and cost analysis for the energy-storage devices and resulting vehicles, as well as a discussion of national impact issues. The report is presented in four volumes: Volume 1 - Overview and Findings; Volume 2 - Energy-Storage Devices; Volume 3 - Automotive Propulsion Systems; and Volume 4 - National Impact Issues. The purpose of the work reported in these volumes was to determine which energy-storage devices and propulsion systems are likely to provide credible alternatives to current and future petroleum-fueled automobiles. This volume deals with energy-storage automobiles, their performance and vehicle characteristics, propulsion, transmission and control equipment, cost estimates, and safety. (ERA citation 06:023816)
