Electric or hydrogen cars – which makes more sense for NZ?

Drive Electric

FCEVs utilise the stored Hydrogen and combine it with oxygen from the air to generate electricity. This electricity is then used to propel the vehicle’s electric motor and recharge its battery. There is also a need to address the potential safety risks of handling and storing Hydrogen. Read more on How FCEVs work?
