Myths About Fuel Cell Vehicles and Fuel Availability

Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) represent a tantalizing vision of the future: electric driving with the quick refueling of gasoline and only water vapor as tailpipe emissions. This promise has positioned hydrogen as a potential clean-energy champion, especially for heavy transport. However, the gap between this visionary promise and today"s logistical, economic, and environmental reality is vast. Common misconceptions about hydrogen production, distribution, and vehicle ownership create a distorted picture that obscures significant challenges, leading to unrealistic expectations about the viability of hydrogen as a mainstream passenger car fuel in the near term.
