- In a fuel cell, hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce electricity needed by the electric engine. Fuel cells do not need to be charged like electric batteries; they just need a supply of hydrogen.
- Hydrogen has to be compressed before it can be stored in a car. This requires a lot of energy, which adds to the cost of the hydrogen as a fuel in cars.
- Hydrogen cars are environmentally friendly because there are no toxic emissions. The only thing that comes out of the exhaust pipe is water.
- Hydrogen is not a fuel in the conventional terms because hydrogen production requires energy. Hydrogen can be produced from natural gas, coal, electrolysis or sunlight.
- Some examples of hydrogen powered cars include Honda FCX Clarity, Chevrolet, Equinox, BMW Hydrogen 7 and Cadillac Provoq.
