Electricity may have a convincing lead as it stands, with battery-powered vehicles dominating the market, but hydrogen is still a player in the global shift away from fossil fuels.
Hydrogen fuel cells are able to store energy more densely; therefore, they can typically travel greater distances before refueling and without producing harmful emissions. Boasting zero emissions, battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) siphon power from the rechargeable battery, and the infrastructure of charging stations nationwide is growing rapidly.
Despite both vehicle types using different fuel sources to satisfy the demand for environmentally friendly transportation, they share a common need for…
