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.

What is the differences between electric car and hydrogen fuel cell cars?

Electric cars are powered by batteries that store electrical energy, which is used to drive an electric motor. In contrast, hydrogen fuel cell cars generate electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in a fuel cell, producing only water as a byproduct. While electric cars rely on charging infrastructure and battery technology, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles require hydrogen refueling stations. Additionally, electric vehicles tend to have a higher energy efficiency compared to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.


How are the cars of the future going to be made?

There are already some fuel-cell cars out, they use a fuel cell. There have been prototypes of cars that run on water. Cars that run on hydrogen also. Electric cars definitely


Are all hydrogen cars with fuel cell or they are some hydrogen cars without fuel cell?

There are no commercially available hydrogen fueled cars.


What is the difference between a hydrogen electric and and an electric car?

Electric cars can be charged with electricity, where as hydrogen cars use a fuel cell that would have to be refilled at a refueling station. It doesn't look like there will be many hydrogen cars on the road until 2020. Take a look at this article: http://www.renewable-energy-news.info/electric-vs-hydrogen-the-future-of-green-cars-battle-it-out/


What is used in fuel cell cars?

Fuel cell cars primarily use hydrogen as their fuel source. In the fuel cell, hydrogen reacts with oxygen from the air to produce electricity, which powers the electric motor, emitting only water vapor and heat as byproducts. This technology enables efficient and clean energy conversion, making fuel cell vehicles an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional combustion engine cars.


How many fuel cell and electric cars are on the road?

fuel cell : 0 electric: 2 or 3


What fuels fuel cell cars?

Fuel cells in vehicles create electricity to power an electric motor, generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.


What are fuel-cell cars powered by?

Fuel cells in vehicles create electricity to power an electric motor, generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen.


What are the key differences between hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and electric cars in terms of their environmental impact and efficiency?

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles produce water as their only emission, making them cleaner than electric cars that rely on electricity generated from fossil fuels. However, the production of hydrogen can be energy-intensive. Electric cars are more efficient in terms of energy conversion and have a lower overall environmental impact if the electricity comes from renewable sources.


Can the general public purchase a hydrogen fuel cell car?

Hydrogen fuel cell cars seem to be the wave of the future. This website gives you links to all of the dealers with available hydrogen fuel cell cars: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fcv_links.shtml


What kind of gas does fuel cell cars use?
