Abstract Energy Management Strategies (EMS) are crucial in influencing the performance, efficiency, and durability of hybrid cars. The EMS regulates the working conditions of essential powertrain components, hence affecting almost all facets of a vehicle's functioning, including energy consumption, component wear, drivability, and performance. Consequently, designing the EMS for hybrid electric cars is a complicated task that necessitates balancing various, often competing, goals. These include the reduction of fuel consumption, the enhancement of the driving experience, the mitigation of mechanical and electrical wear on components, and the improvement of overall performance. In Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FCHEVs), the Energy Management System (EMS) is of paramount importance, owing to the intricate integration of fuel cells and batteries, as well as the heightened sensitivity of fuel cells to operational circumstances and deterioration. This work presents a notable development in fuel cell vehicle management by including fuel cell deterioration into the primary optimization goals of the Energy Management System (EMS). This facilitates improved long-term economic performance and fosters the sustainable and feasible deployment of FCHEVs. The results demonstrate that a well-designed EMS may significantly prolong a fuel cell's lifespan while highlighting the capacity for strategic design choices to lower overall ownership costs. As FCHEVs increasingly emerge as an alternative to internal combustion and battery-electric cars, techniques such as the one described herein will be crucial in addressing the persisting technological and economic problems.
