| EMISSION | SPACE REQUIREMENT | MAINTENANCE | LOCAL UTILITY REQUIREMENTS | REQUIRED OPERATOR INVOLVEMENT | SUSTAINED POWER DELIVERY | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES |  No harmful emissions |  No specialized changing or maintenance rooms required | No maintenance or equalization required | More intense electrical grid burden, depending on fleet size and charge intervals. | Designed for opportunity charging; faster recharge capability than lead acid | Consistent power delivery until full depletion |
| LEAD ACID BATTERIES | None while in operation, but does emit fumes that require ventilation during battery charging |  Separate room, infrastructure often required for battery charging, changing and maintenance | Higher maintenance requirements compared to other electric options | Moderate electrical requirements, depending on fleet size | Complex and time-cosuming battery maintenance, charging or changing | Diminishing power output as battery charge depletes |
| INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE | Emissions while in operation. Well-suited for outdoor or highlyventilated environments | Primary fueling and storage infrastructure located outside facility | Requires regular, but not daily, maintenance | None | Simple, fast refueling with tank charges or pump | Consistent power delivery until full depletion |
MORE OPTIONS. MORE FLEXIBILITY.
