Fuel cells, like stem cells in medical science, are a new technology in the automobile industry. Unlike battery-powered electric vehicles, FCEVs can go over 500 kilometers on a full tank of hydrogen and can be refueled in 2-3 minutes, exactly like regular petrol/diesel cars. One among them is the long charging time.
