We hear a lot about the development of electric cars, and rightly so. But there’s another alternative vehicle technology that’s less talked about. And it’s reliant on the most common chemical element in the universe. Hydrogen.
There are hydrogen cars on UK roads, and while you might be hard-pressed to spot one right now, manufacturers (Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai) have already produced hydrogen models.
How Hydrogen Car works with Fuel Cell:
The fuel cell is a device that takes chemical energy from hydrogen and turns it into electricity that can power an electric motor, just like a battery. First, hydrogen stored in a tank is mixed with air and pumped into the fuel cell.
Inside the cell, a chemical reaction extracts electrons from the hydrogen. The leftover hydrogen protons move across the cell and combine with oxygen from the air to produce water. Meanwhile, the electrons create electricity, which charges a small storage battery to power an electric drivetrain. The vehicles are called Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV).
How Hydrogen Car works with IC Engine:
A hydrogen internal combustion engine (HICEV) is a type of hydrogen vehicle using an internal combustion engine. Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles are different from hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Instead, the hydrogen internal combustion engine is a modified version of the traditional gasoline-powered internal combustion engine.

The Government of India is actually planning to invest in Hydrogen Cars over EV....Hence Indian manufacturers like TATA and Mahindra are not yet entering the EV market in full scale ...

Hydrogen for the win. Electric cars are great if you have your own a house with a drive way to charge, but where I live in the UK I would need to fork out about £750k upwards to have a drive. Many of us live in terraced houses and have to park on the street. Plus the sound of a hydrogen car is way better, you can retro fit old cars with IC engines, and hopefully you will still be able to drive manual.

[@ducksongfans]

Can't you just put the charger on the side of the road by your house

[@willardchi2571]

@jaymatthews3712 - Simple solution: you buy the car but rent or lease the batteries. When your battery is low, a service station removes your dead battery and replaces it with a fully charged fresh battery. Just like you change batteries on your cordless drill. Could even be faster than filling up a gas tank. Your dead battery is then recharged and lent to another driver. This battery exchange could even be automated. Simple. It might even be possible to specify how much charge you want in the fresh battery and pay accordingly (although possibly, the higher the charge, the less it might cost per watt).

Both can work alongside eV for cars, vans, etc hydrogen for trucks, buses etc the petrol, diesel scenario all over again but eV companies trying to discredit hydrogen and they will fail miserably.. UK is already updated services to handle hydrogen eg pipework, tanks etc... There is no way we should allow any one source to have a monopoly in fuel ever again... Its out and out greed..

[@TheRealBlakers]

If all of the companies making EVs actually cared about the environment they would be investing in hydrogen power in anyway they can. Travel range and transport costs are the same exact issues fossil fueled vehicles and EVs have and we overcome them to make it work. Think of all the people working in oil that could be cross-trained to harvest and transport hydrogen. I have yet to see a single legitimate reason we don't drive these vehicles regularly. It's all excuses.

[@KL4BSGTR]

@@TheRealBlakers Oh ye think about those kids who get payed so less bc companies want lithium to make batteries, Also Its not excuses , everyone knows that hydrogen is more cleaner , has higher Range, faster fueling time , U lot who just support EVs can't even think about kids and adults having to put up with lithium mines or acid from batteries that causes acid rain

Certain types of Solid oxide fuel cells at filling stations can be used to create hydrogen from from water and electricity with oxygen as a by product which can be easily sold. These were first developed to produce electricity from natural gas but they can also run in reverse!!!

[@preetchaudhary559]

[@user-gt5eh5nf1e]

I think the biggest difference between a hydrogen fuel engine and a hydrogen fuel cell is that a hydrogen fuel engine is driven by an internal combustion engine, so it has the same engine noise as ordinary gasoline-electric vehicles and fuel vehicles and needs to change the oil. For hydrogen fuel cells, its driving method is an electric motor, so its driving is the same as that of an electric car！

[@ramsajivan6195]

@Deborah Payne Yeah You are right, But therr is skme reasons that will stop one to produce hydrogen at home likd, a ) Hydrogen is extremely flammable Gas; b) To extract hydrogen from water is complecated for normal prople. And soo On... But the good news is Apart from the electrolysis, Ons can also extract a hydrogen. there is also other ways to get hydrogen but unfortunately we arent talking about that.

[@Koubles]

H fueled cars are a long way out simply because the US government provides massive subsidies for EV car manufacturers like Tesla, effectively forcing out any other kind of car from the market. Even though the raw materials needed to make EV cars as well as the majority of the electicity used to make them is very destructive. On top of that, having massive amounts of money being devoted to highway repaving rather than alternative transit doesn't exactly showcase a push for "Eco Friendly Transportation". The Government would rather follow trendy BS platitudes than focus on solutions that actually matter.

Reduced weight of vehicle compared to EV, so easier on road infrastructure and tire compound emissions. Hmmmm.

are hydrogen cars stable now? I read somewhere they are susceptible to high temperatures and can explode.

EV's and lithium have a similar issue. Once those batteries catch fire nothing can put them out, not even water. Its like oil on fire; very hard to extinguish. Gasoline is also explosive but with the right placement this issue is not going to be a problem with hydrogen. The temp issue is resolvable.

ICE will be around for decades. They will be hybrid to meat cafe standards. Electric carss are a nitch market and is NOT the future. Two reasons: 1 the raw materials needed to replace ice cars with electric cars will be prohibitively expensive as demand inceases and: 2 There is not enough electricity to power a fleet of all electric cars and between the charge times and the space required to charge milliona of cars isnt yet feasable. A breakthrough in battery technology would be needed and battery physics may never allow quick enough charge times not to mention that the eletric grid cannot handle it in most countries. The future is hydrogen but it is decades away. Hydrogen is a fuel that can be ieasilynstalled in gas stations, charges in a few minutes and diesnt use the increasingly limited electric grid.
