Green Hydrogen Cars: How They are Different?

Get Electric Vehicle

To put it another way, instead of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with electricity, these two components are joined to make water and electricity The electricity is then utilized to power the car’s drive train, leaving just water as a waste product. The oxygen comes from the air, while the hydrogen comes from a tank.
