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.


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 is the performance of a fuel cell measured?

The performance of a fuel cell is typically measured using metrics such as power output, efficiency, and durability. Power output is a measure of the electrical energy generated by the fuel cell, efficiency is a measure of how effectively it converts fuel into electricity, and durability measures how long the fuel cell can operate reliably. These metrics help evaluate the overall performance and effectiveness of the fuel cell technology.
