A logistics company is evaluating two types of zero-emission vehicles for their daily 300 km delivery routes: a battery electric van and a hydrogen fuel cell van.
The table below shows some specifications and operational costs for each vehicle type:
| Feature | Battery Electric Van | Hydrogen Fuel Cell Van |
|---|---|---|
| Refuelling or recharging time (minutes) | 240 | 6 |
| Fuel or energy cost for 300 km (#) | 12.00 | 27.00 |
| Payload capacity (kg) | 900 | 1400 |
| Purchase price of the vehicle (#) | 45000 | 65000 |
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of choosing the hydrogen fuel cell van rather than the battery electric van for their operation.
