Technical and cost analyses of energy-storage devices and propulsion systems for automobiles were conducted. Study panels examined electrochemical, mechanical, and chemical/thermal storage devices, selected the most promising ones, and projected their characteristics into three time frames through 2000. The Automotive End-Use Panel modeled these devices and propulsion systems as vehicles of several sizes and performance levels and prepared comparative evaluations between systems and with projected baseline internal-combustion-engine vehicles.
