SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO POWER ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Techniques for supplying power to an electrical load include electrically coupling a power supply system to an electrical load. The power supply system includes a chemical energy sub-system including a fuel cell and a fuel storage assembly that stores a fuel, where the fuel cell is configured to generate a first electrical energy output at a first power output; an electrochemical energy sub-system including an energy storage device configured to generate a second electrical energy output at a second power output; and a power control unit electrically coupled to the chemical energy sub-system and the electrochemical energy sub-system and electrically coupled to the electrical load. The method includes operating the power control unit to provide the first electrical energy output or the second electrical energy output to the electrical load.
