ABSTRACT

Mobility is evolving both technologically and socially. We are witnessing a rapid shift to electric mobility, mainly today, with battery. A lack of autonomy and charge time too long are often cited as the main obstacles to the development of electric vehicles. Fuel cell vehicles with hydrogen storage in compressed form at 350 or 700 bars can travel more than 500 km, in a single charge lasting 3 to 5 minutes, they appear more than ever as a credible alternative to current vehicles. This article discusses fuel cell technology applied to land transportation by analyzing technological, environmental, economic, and political aspects.

Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

 INTRODUCTION

The hydrogen-powered electric vehicle is first and foremost an electric vehicle, operating with an electric drive train identical to that used in the battery-powered electric vehicles already in widespread use. There is no reason to oppose the battery electric vehicle and the hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle. The only difference is the way energy is stored and delivered to the electric motor. In a battery-powered vehicle, energy and power come from the battery. In a fuel cell vehicle (FCV), energy is stored in the form of hydrogen in a tank, and power is defined by the size of the fuel cell that generates the electrical energy for the motor.

For a general overview of fuel cells, please refer to the articles Hydrogen fuel – Production [BE 8 565] , Hydrogen fuel – Use [BE 8 566] , Electric road transport – Fuel cell vehicles [D 5 570] and Hydrogen [J 6 368] .
