are hydrogen cars better than electric?

hydrogen cars are also known as hydrogen fuel cell cars are a type of passenger vehicle separate from electric cars.

hydrogen-powered cars are more similar to electric cars than the fact that they have no internal combustion engine.

although, hydrogen cars can rarely be seen on the road.

it all comes down to which one is better?

hydrogen or electric ?

here is everything you need to know about hydrogen cars and whether they are better than electric cars.

to get the juiciest facts , you need to see out the video.

now let's get down to it.

let's get the main question out of the way first and before going into the technical details and comparing hydrogen and electric car technologies.

let's first look into what hydrogen and electric cars are and how they work?

hydrogen is the most abundant element on the planet and having powered engines as long ago as 1807, it's also the cleanest kind of fuel out there.

a hydrogen cell fuel car has a hydrogen tank that feeds a fuel cell with high pressured hydrogen gas that'll mix with oxygen.

this mixture starts as an electrochemical reaction produces electricity which is then used to power an electric motor to propel the vehicle
without any toxic tailpipe emission.

in fact, the only byproduct of the whole process is water and heat.

which is produced as a result of the connection of hydrogen in oxygen atoms that forms water molecules.

this means hydrogen cars have characteristics of both electric cars due to the use of electric energy
electric motor and lack of internal combustion engine while conventional petrol cars because of the tank.

fuel cells are the main component of hydrogen-powered cars.

you can think of them as the maestro of all the processes happening inside the car so that it has the energy to move.

on the other hand, an electric car is powered by a lithium-ion battery.
which supplies power to an electric motor to power the various parts of the vehicle.

the batteries are recharged by plugging into the electricity grid , much as with any other electric device such as a computer or telephone.

some types of electric cars can also provide themselves with a small recharge when braking by converting the heat that is produced into electricity.

now with the basics out of the way , it all comes down to which one is better?

but before concluding, let's look into and compare the important characteristics of each type of vehicle.


hydrogen versus electric energy efficiency.


hydrogen is inefficient because it doesn't occur naturally.

it has to be extracted and then compressed into fuel tanks.

so in the process of converting the hydrogen fuel to electricity
most of the energy is lost.

because the energy must move from wire to gas then
