Re Fuel savings with a SOFC APU from numbers published by Delphi/BMW Need 1.5 Litres per KW generated per 100 km driven from a regular alternator. Assume vehicle needs 3 KW for regular operation, heating or air conditioning, electric water pump etc Need 1.5 * 3 * 200 litres per year assuming you drive 20,000 kms/year. This is 900 litres /year. SOFC APU saves 46% . 46% * 900 = 414 litres/year. In Europe gasoline costs about $2Cdn or more a litre. Fuel savings are $818/cdn per year. Environmental savings of reduced emissions as well. I would cheerfully pay $1,500 Cdn for such a device to give me a payback in less than 2 years. What do you think?
