FUEL CELL ELECTRIC VEHICLES

 What is fuel cell electric vehicles?

A fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is a type of electric car that uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity instead of gasoline or diesel. A fuel cell is a device that makes use of chemical energy in a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. When the two react, water is produced as a by-product, which can then be used for other purposes.

The most common FCEV is the Toyota Mirai, which was introduced in 2014 and has been sold since 2016. It's powered by hydrogen fuel cells that produce electricity through an electrolyzer module. These modules convert hydrogen into water and oxygen—one molecule of each—which are then fed into a stack where they combine to generate power.

FCEVs have been used in cars and trucks for several years now, but their use hasn't grown significantly until recently because of their high cost compared to conventional internal combustion engines. However, recent breakthroughs in technology have made them more affordable than ever before, which has led to explosive growth in their usage over the past few years.

FCEVs have several advantages over conventional internal combustion engines: they don't require any oil changes or additives; they're quiet; they don't pollute air or water; and they don't release greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere like traditional engines do.

FCEVs reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95% when compared to conventional vehicles, which have tailpipe emissions of about 2.4 tons of CO2 per million miles traveled. This is because FCEVs use clean renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, as well as natural gas or hydrogen from water or other sources, rather than polluting fossil fuels like gasoline or diesel fuel.

FCEVs also reduce dependence on fossil fuels by providing transportation options that don't require them (although they can be used for long trips). As a result of these benefits, many countries around the world have made significant investments in the development of FCEVs over the last decade or so—either through subsidies or tax credits for buyers who choose this type of vehicle over others (such as hybrids).

Fuel cells are considered clean energy because they do not produce greenhouse gasses when they operate, like fossil fuels do. Additionally, the hydrogen and oxygen from the fuel cells can be stored in tanks within the vehicle itself, reducing weight and adding to its range.

Since fuel cells don't produce any carbon dioxide when they operate, they're also an excellent choice for reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

At last, let me tell you about the best magazine for car comparison and reviews i.e; Autocar India. They bring you the best and hottest news of the automobile sector, as well as expert reviews about cars and bikes. If you have any questions about a car or bike, you can ask them through their advice feature and get an expert opinion on it.
