Fuel Cell Vehicle (Hydrogen Car)
A fuel cell vehicle generates electricity from hydrogen to drive an electric motor.
What is Fuel Cell Vehicle (Hydrogen Car)?
The only exhaust is water vapour. Refuelling takes minutes. Hydrogen stations are rare. Fuel cell cars also have a small battery to buffer energy and recover braking energy. Only a few models have been sold, such as from Toyota and Hyundai.
How it works
The fuel cell combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity.
Why it matters for your car
Tanks store hydrogen under high pressure. Availability depends on the station network.
