How would one describe a fuel cell car?

A fuel cell car would be defined as a vehicle with an electric motor or engine that uses a fuel cell to produce electricity to power its motor with hydrogen.


How is a fuel cell different to a battery?

A fuel cell is different from a battery cell in so far as reactants are constantly supplied to a fuel cell making it an open system whereas a battery cell is a closed system that stores the reactants within it. A fuel cell works as long as fuel is supplied to it whereas a battery cell requires regular replacements.

Electric Car vs Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars pros and cons?

Neither car is available and most likely will not be for some time, if ever. Fuel cell technology is probably closer to a reality. The major disadvantage is that they produce no fuel savings and are not a positive for our environment. Hydrogen is derived by stripping it from natural gas. The net result is that we use fossil fuel to power the fuel cell car.


How far off is fuel cell technology?

It works now. The problem is not so much the level of the technology, but of the support system. If you can't "gas-up" your car, then it's just a small house.
