Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy.

Feature: Are Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars The Future?

Clean Fleet Report

In comparison, only 7,500 hydrogen powered cars were sold by that time. When the hydrogen is converted to electricity, the only output the car will have is water vapour. Another incident occurred in Sandvika, Norway. They still have a long way to go before catching up on fossil fuel-powered cars in convenience of fueling.
