A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is an electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell, sometimes in combination with a small battery or supercapacitor, to power its onboard electric motor. Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen. Most fuel cell vehicles are ...
The comparable NEDC value for a Diesel vehicle is 22%. In 2008 Honda released a demonstration fuel cell electric vehicle (the Honda FCX Clarity) with fuel stack claiming a 60% tank-to-wheel efficiency. [78] It is also important to take losses due to fuel production, transportation, and storage into account.
This is a list of fuel cell vehicles (FCV), or fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), that use a fuel cell to power an electric drive system. For Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles (HICEV) see the List of hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles .
Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles are related to electric cars, but these machines have pros and cons that make them different from the typical battery-powered EV.
Servicing a Hydrogen Car. Like electric cars, hydrogen vehicles require dealership service centers to exercise some special precautions. HFCVs have the same high-voltage battery packs as a hybrid ...
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles. Finally, we’ve come to the rarest breed of electric car, the hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle. Rather than drawing power from an energy grid like a plug ...
Diagram of a PEM fuel cell. Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), also known as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells, are a type of fuel cell being developed mainly for transport applications, as well as for stationary fuel-cell applications and portable fuel-cell applications. Their distinguishing features include lower ...
The Honda CR-V e:FCEV is a plug-in hybrid electric, fuel cell vehicle. It is equipped with a front-mounted electric motor, two high-pressure hydrogen tanks with a total capacity of 4.3 kg (9.5 lb), a 17.7 kWh battery with plug-in charging capability with no internal combustion engine. [115] [116]
