It's mainly centered around the process of extracting hydrogen, which in and of itself is not a terribly efficient process, and negates a lot of whatever there is to be gained by using hydrogen vehicles.
Another disadvantage is that there are none on the road... you can introduce an electric car like the Tesla, Chevy Volt, etc, because people have electricity already... who has hydrogen on-hand?
There are no hydrogen powered cars being sold to the general public. Storage and fueling locations, and the potential hazard of the fuel, are the biggest hurdles.
yes, for sure. hydrogen cars are created today.
Many alternative fuels, and there can also be air-powered cars, hydrogen powered cars, electric cars, and many more. The best part about using air, hydrogen, and electricity to power cars is that it produces 0 carbon emissions.
New fueling stations that can handle hydrogen would have to be built.

Seattle.
They produce no harmful emissions.
Concept cars have been made, but none are in mass production to date.
Pollution.
Gasoline and diesel are the most common. Some companies have cars powered solely by electricity, or some have cars that run on hydrogen although the hydrogen powered cars are extremely expensive and not really available to the public. Some people convert their diesel powered vehicles to run of vegetable oil, and their gas engines to run on propane gas. Ethanol is also common.
Solar, electrical, or hydrogen powered cars are most likely to be cars of the future.
Yes, the FCX Clarity FCEV is officially out on the road. This is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.
