Hydrogen fuel cell cars face several disadvantages, including limited refueling infrastructure, which can make it challenging for drivers to find hydrogen stations. Additionally, hydrogen production often relies on fossil fuels, raising concerns about its overall environmental impact. The vehicles themselves can be more expensive to manufacture compared to battery electric vehicles, and hydrogen storage poses safety challenges due to the gas's flammability and the high pressures required for storage.
What else can I help you with?
What are the advantages and the disadvantages of a hydrogen fuel cell car over a hybrid car?
Advantages are very low emissions. Disadvantage is rarity of hydrogen fuel stations.
How does a fuel cell power a car?
it squirts hydrogen throgh a fuel cell to make electricity to power the car
How do hydrogen cars work?
The success of the hydrogen car is because the the hydrogen fuel cell. This cell converts hydrogen into electricity and powers the car and the only byproduct is heat and water.
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
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.
What device allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate?
fuel cell
What is a device that allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate?
fuel cell
Is a device that allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate.?

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 much hydrogen does it take to drive a car?
It depends how far you want to go, how fast, and how big your car is! But when you ask a vague question you get a vague answer... a lot. The energy density of hydrogen is much lower than gasoline, even when it is highly compressed.
What device allows a car to use hydrogen gas to operate it?
A fuel cell operates on the principle of reversing the process of electolysis of water. The fuel cell recombines hydrogen and oxygen to create energy and water.
Is hydrogen combustible in car engines?
Yes, hydrogen is transferred into the power to move the car either by fuel cell (resulting in electricity) or a traditional ICE (Internal Combustion Engine). Either way, the end product is water vapor.
