Changing from gasoline powered vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) will provide positive environmental effects. A present disadvantage of EVs with secondary battery systems is a short driving range. This can be improved by the application of a hybrid system of SOFCs and batteries. For that system, both tubular and planer types of SOFCs having 10kW power are designed which can be used for passenger cars with naphtha as fuel operated at 880--850 C . The tubular type has 106 liters in volume and 100kg in weight, and were smaller and lighter than the planer type. Subjects to be investigated on SOFCs for EVs are described.
