On 13 May 2007 a team from the University of Applied Sciences in Offenburg did present world's first vehicle powered by a DEFC at Shell's Eco-marathon in France. The car "Schluckspecht" attended a successful test drive on Nogaro Circuit powered by a DEFC stack giving an output voltage of 20 to 45 V (depending on load).

Various prototypes of Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell Stack mobile phone chargers were built featuring voltages from 2V to 7V and powers from 800 mW to 2W were built and tested.
