Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are similar to BEVs in that they have an electric-only powertrain, but they store energy differently. The fuel cell in FCEVs generates energy by combining hydrogen and oxygen from the air. The fuel cell’s electricity then powers an electric motor, which drives the vehicle like a BEV.
