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.
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 .
The hybrid fuel cell technology that powered this ship was produced by Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH. [175] In 2010, the MF Vågen was first produced, utilizing 12 kW fuel cells and 2- to 3-kilogram metal hydride hydrogen storage. It also utilizes 25 kWh lithium batteries and a 10 kW DC motor. [174] The Hornblower Hybrid debuted in 2012.
The future of clean car technology may very well be hydrogen fuel cells. While you can already drive one on the road today, filling it up conveniently is another matter. Hydrogen fuel cell cars ...
[13] [59] The adoption of the flex technology was so rapid, that flexible fuel cars reached 87.6% of new car sales in July 2008. [60] As of August 2008, the fleet of "flex" automobiles and light commercial vehicles had reached 6 million new vehicles sold, [61] representing almost 19% of all registered light vehicles. [62]
The planar fuel cell design geometry is the typical sandwich type geometry employed by most types of fuel cells, where the electrolyte is sandwiched in between the electrodes. SOFCs can also be made in tubular geometries where either air or fuel is passed through the inside of the tube and the other gas is passed along the outside of the tube.
