English term or phrase: electric & fuel-cell powered vehicles
Examples of vehicles with reduced petroleum consumption include electric cars, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell-powered hydrogen cars.

Electric cars are typically more efficient than fuel cell-powered vehicles on a wheel-to-wheel basis. For this reason, battery powered vehicles and plug-in hybrids are gaining popularity. They have better fuel economy than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles but are hampered by range or maximum distance attainable before discharging the battery. The electric car batteries are their main cost. They provide a 55% to 99.9% improvement in CO2 emissions compared to an ICE (gasoline, diesel) vehicle, depending on the source of electricity.

vozila na električni pogon i s gorivim člancima
Explanation:
"Electric" pretpostavljam, nije dvojbeno. "Fuel cells" su gorivi članci i uglavnom se u njima također dobiva električna energija, samo za razliku od sekundarnih članaka (tradicionalnih punjivih akumulatora) i primarnih elektrokemijskih članaka (jednokratnih baterija), oni se koriste višekratno i dopunjavaju se, ali ne izvana dovedenom električnom energijom nego gorivom.

Example sentence(s):
  • Gorivi članci (gorive ćelije, eng. fuel cell, njem. Brennstoffzelle) su galvanski elementi u kojima se elektrokemijskom oksidacijom lako oksidirajućih sastojaka kao što su vodik ili metanol proizvodi električna energija.

FCVs run on hydrogen gas rather than gasoline and emit no harmful tailpipe emissions.
