We all believe that an electric vehicle is much more eco-friendlier than a conventional gasoline car. Yes, They Are Greener But… On the surface, EVs are more ecological than gasoline cars because 70-80% of the pollution caused by automobiles comes from their tailpipe and EVs don’t have tailpipe emissions.

At the end of January, DOE also issued the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Activities, Progress, and Plans Report to Congress as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT). This current technology would be more than twice as expensive as internal combustion engine systems. The 2015 cost target was $2-$3/gge.
