Novel electric vehicle fueled by gasoline and saving 50% ot it


Novel electric vehicles fueled by gasoline and saving 50% of it
Author: David Judbarovski, principle inventor, systems engineering  
The main obstacle for mass introducing of hydrogen as a clean and very powerful fuel and fuel cells consuming the hydrogen as high efficient electricity source, there are flammability and highest explosion hazard of the hydrogen, and practically 100% lack of hydrogen refueling stations in comparison with gasoline ones being everywhere, while the gasoline much less dangerous in usage and very suitable.
In another hand, hydrogen fuel feeding direct hydrogen fuel cells allows potentially very high energy efficiency near 100% and practically now being about 65% and very low cost of about USD 40.0/kW as constantly declared about them by DOE (Ministry of Energy) of USA, but underlining that them can be reachable if being mass produced not less than 100,000 -500,000 units annually.  
 
Being summarized all the said arguments, in particular: the lack of present demand in hydrogen fuel cells and lack of electric vehicles consuming hydrogen for fueling, are looked as a insuperable obstacle for buyers to buy and for businesses to produce such electric transport in mass quantity, and induced extremely high prices as for such fuel cells as for such transport in the world markets. 

Here I suppose to offer a quite known and simple and cheap way to overcome the said obstacles, and it is not the conventional hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) being a type of hybrid vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) system with an electric propulsion system (hybrid vehicle drivetrain).
I offer twice more energy effective on-board system combines reforming of light hydrocarbons with water as additional reactant, and with heating by electricity as energy source for the said reforming to produce hydrogen for the fuel cell. A tiny rechargeable battery is used as a starter and short-term storage for the reforming.
It can be (CH2) + 2H2O + electric heating = 3 H2 + CO2.   
Certainly, after the said reforming it would need a dividing of the hydrogen being very small particles from the CO2 and other harmful gases poisoning the fuel cell, but the said cleaning isn’t a big and expensive problem if hydrogen membrane cleaning on-board too.
