Lead author Aniruddh Mohan and colleagues wanted to develop a method that evaluated the life-cycle costs and benefits for two battery-powered ridesource fleets and a gasoline-powered one. The analysis indicated that electrified fleets had 40-45% lower greenhouse gas costs per trip compared to the gasoline-powered version.

In many respects, hydrogen FCVs could offer features that are similar to today’s gasoline cars and are more challenging to achieve in battery-powered vehicles, including good performance, large vehicle size, refueling time of 3-5 minutes and a range of 300-400 miles. Transition issues. Public funding.

This is not much different from diesel and gasoline which are produced from refining and cleaning crude oil (a process which heavily involves the use of hydrogen). This renewable production capacity is increasingly important to ensure the existing power grid can accept more renewable sources.

Furthermore, unlike the charge stored in a battery, which tends to deplete with time (hours-days), hydrogen, which is the primary source of power in an FCEV, can be stored for longer periods of time (days-seasons). Being said all these facts which make FCEVs clearly superior to BEVs why is it lagging behind? Conclusion.
