Researchers at the University of Delaware have demonstrated a direct ammonia fuel cell (DAFC) prototype with a peak power density of 135 mW cm ?2. As a nitrogen-based liquid fuel, ammonia is cheaper to store and distribute than hydrogen and avoids the carbon dioxide emissions of other liquid fuels, which are expensive to capture.

One was affordability. There were two Level 2 charging stations about six blocks away in a grocery store parking lot, but that was not a convenient or reliable option. Harry decided to forego buying an EV, but he remains open to purchasing one if both the affordability and charging issues are better addressed. “I households.
