Abstract
The lack of batteries charge infrastructure and the short cruising rage have prevented the spread of electric vehicles (EV). In order to solve this problem, we are going to propose a new type of gas station system, called "Hybrid Gas Station" (HGS). The name of this system is analogous to "Hybrid Electric Vehicles". the HGS is equipped with a generator and battery chargers for EV to provide energy to gas engine vehicles and EVs. The HGS also can run on conventional fuels such as kerosene which are already available through existing gas syndicate networks. The calculated results of energy and emission evaluations show that the combination of HGS+EV can achieve the significant fuel saving and the CO_2 reduction in comparison to the gas engine vehicles on the assumption that they both go the same cruising distance. If the HGS becomes a batteries charge infrastructure of the future, it can contribute to the spread of EVs. It can also contribute to energy securities with low emission when it becomes one of the distributed generator systems. Thus, it is likely that our proposed system will become the migration path for the next generation of energy system for automobiles.
