Basically, it’s an electric car that is powered by hydrogen.
It takes oxygen from the outside and mixes with hydrogen as it goes along and the exhaust is water.

Potentially, in my view, it’s a better replacement for gasoline than electric batters could ever be. It’s just a matter of whether they can lower the costs enough to mass produce these cars.

Fascinated how even though water vapor is an exponential greenhouse gas compared to gasoline exhaust this is considered superior.

There’s problems with the fuel cell too especially on days when it’s below freezing. The water vapor created by the hydrogen and oxygen can freeze up and make the fuel cell inoperable.

Don’t they need electricty to manfacture hydrogen from water?

. . . until they decide that water vapor is a greenhouse gas. (Which it is. But we’re a closed system on planet Earth and do not create or destroy any new matter.)

Where are they going to get the hydrogen—Jupiter?

Basically, it’s an electric car that is powered by electricity using hydrogen.

And how much electricity does it take to make the hydrogen?
