Despite the recent progress, a number of myths around the use, power efficiency and cost of fuel cells still exist. With global leading car OEMs such as Toyota, Honda, Hyundai all recently announcing their intentions to make their FCEVs available to the consumer, there is no doubt that the OEMs have done their homework.
