What is the battery for electric forklift in the future

The rapid development of electric forklift in recent years has made it clear to people that the future electric forklift will take over the forklift industry in an all-round way. At present, the proportion of domestic electric forklift is rising, while that of developed countries is much higher than that of China. Moreover, many countries in Europe and America have planned to stop the production of fuel vehicles in the future. Although China has not yet done so, its requirements for environmental protection are getting higher and higher.

When it comes to electric forklift, we must talk about batteries. It is generally believed that lithium batteries are the best products of electric forklift in the market, because they are more environmentally friendly than other batteries. However, there is a new energy source, hydrogen fuel cells, which does not have a high sense of existence. Only some developed countries have invested research and development funds in this area.

But this kind of energy has its advantages. Let's compare it with lithium battery today, and you will understand.

The charging time of the hydrogen fuel cell is very low, only 3 minutes. The lithium battery takes 3 to 8 hours. From this point of view, the lithium battery is a complete failure.

Pollution degree: after the hydrogen fuel cell is used, it will not pollute the environment. The metal cobalt in the lithium battery will pollute the environment, and the lithium battery will fail.

Battery life: the mileage of hydrogen fuel cell is more than 500km, and that of lithium battery is generally 100200km.

Cost of charging station: lithium battery wins in this respect, because hydrogen fuel cell does cost more.

Battery cost: the cost of hydrogen fuel cell is relatively high, which is also an important reason why it has not been commercialized on a large scale. Lithium battery has been commercialized on a large scale, and the cost is relatively low.

Having said so much, apart from the high cost, hydrogen fuel cells are better than lithium batteries. That's OK. After the cost of hydrogen fuel cells dropped that day, do you think there will be a market for lithium batteries?
