"In a fuel-cell system, the max theoretical efficiency is 83% versus 58% for a practical combustion engine."

Those are a couple of useful numbers -- thanks!

The potentially-higher max efficiency means they might be able to get away with higher capital/maintenance costs as long as the added costs are made up for by the increased output per unit of fuel.
