-- an excerpt translated from
the Shanghai Jiefang Daily (September 20, 2001)
The race started at 9 a.m. and lasted all the way to 7
p.m. The electric scooter with the highest speed ran for
250 km, while the electric bicycle with the lowest speed
ran for an outstanding 153 km ?The extraordinary "stamina"
of the four "competitors" (EVs) came from an extraordinary
"heart" -- zinc-air fuel cell (ZAFC) ?According to the
rider of the 24-volt e-scooter: if a lead-acid battery was
used, the scooter would weigh 31 kg; but with ZAFC, the
vehicle only weighed 16 kg, which was much lighter,
energy-conserving, and ?According to the rider of the
48-volt e-scooter: the total energy capacity of a
lead-acid battery was 1,250Wh, which could cover at most
60 km per recharge; but now with ZAFCs, the total energy
capacity was 6,540 Wh, which could easily cover a marathon
of 200 km per recharge.
