I believe that a Canadian engineer and physicist, Geoffrey Ballard originated this as part of the discoveries researched by his company 'Ballard Power Systems' in the early 80's. He is now dead and his company has expanded and gone public.

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 net result is that we use fossil fuel to power the fuel cell car.
