Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles
1. Since, hydrogen fuel could be used to power fuel-cell vehicle or an IC engine vehicle, in the absence of producing carbon emissions, upon driving the car, whether, hydrogen powered vehicles remain to be a better vehicle over an Electric Vehicle - towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions with the following advantages?
(a) Hydrogen cars can go up to 500 km before refueling, while EVs can go only up 150-250 km
(b) Refilling time for hydrogen powered vehicles takes hardly 10 minutes, while, EVs, takes around 8 hours towards recharging a batter EV
(c) Hydrogen cars lighter than Electric cars
(d) Although both hydrogen cars and electric cars require minerals, lithium requirement for EVs remains to be more destructive environmentally
2. How about hydrogen infrastructure that pumps hydrogen into the car tank?
3. How about the complexity associated with the vehicle’s powertrain efficiency?
Fuel-cell start-up is going to be of significant concern as it requires the splitting of the vehicle’s power?
4. How about their fuel cost, when powered with green, blue and green hydrogen?
5. How about the cost of fuel consumption?
Whether 1 kg-H2/100 km and 2 kg-H2/100 km make a huge difference?
