Consider them the maestro of all the operations that take place within the car for it to have the energy to drive. Vaguely stated, fuel cells convert stored hydrogen gas into energy by combining it with oxygen. Because hydrogen cars have a tightly packed energy storage system, they can often go greater distances.
