I am not able to give you a cost, as there are a number of fuel cell technologies, and it will be difficult to know which ones might ultimately become commercial. So far, fuel cells applications have required large government subsidies.
The "hydrogen car" is still apparently a long ways from becoming a reality- see related links.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell converts the thermal energy released directly into electrical energy.. This fuel cell was used in the Apollo Programe. It also produces water.....
The fuel for a cell is made up of oxygen and hydrogen. The chemical energy produced by the two is what is converted to serve as fuel for the cell.
A fuel cell operates based on the same principle as a voltaic cell; it generates electricity through a chemical reaction. In a fuel cell, chemical energy from the fuel is directly converted to electrical energy without combustion, making it similar to a voltaic cell that uses redox reactions to generate electrical energy. Therefore, it is correct to classify a fuel cell as a type of voltaic cell.
A type of cell where chemical energy is converted into electrical energy is a fuel cell. Fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction between a fuel (such as hydrogen or natural gas) and an oxidizing agent (typically oxygen).

The Fuel Cell
chemical energy
The substance that supplies energy to fuel cell activity is typically hydrogen. It is used as the fuel source in the anode compartment of the fuel cell and undergoes a reaction that produces electrons and protons, which then generate electricity.
fuel cells are the hydrogen fuel cell that operates similar to a battery. It has two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, separated by a membrane.fuel cell is a type of an electro-chemical cell which can convert the fuel energy into electrical energy by reactions of oxidized and fuel particles triggered in the presence of electrolyte
solar energy
A fuel cell (like a battery) converts chemical energy to electrical energy. The main difference being in the fuel cell the energy rich chemicals are continually being resupplied, while in a battery the energy rich chemicals were put in when the battery was initially assembled and cannot readily be replaced or resupplied.
As of 2023, the cost per kilowatt output of fuel cells typically ranges from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the type of fuel cell and its application. This cost can vary significantly based on factors such as scale of production, technology advancements, and specific use cases. Ongoing research and development efforts aim to reduce these costs further, making fuel cells more competitive with other energy technologies.
