Hydrogen vehicles are EVs too. They don't run H2 through a piston engine, it goes through a catalytic converter that generates electricity, aka Fuel Cell.
Toyota FC stack costs ~$11k, about the same if not cheaper than a 100kWh worth of Li-ion cells.

- VBprogrammer 2y agoAnd the number of hydrogen powered vehicles sold year on year is currently decreasing. As are the number of places to fill them up in the UK at least.

- numpad0 2y agoBecause only Toyota makes them and mostly for publicity, yes. But my points are 1) hydrogen cars are pure EVs too, just not lithium, and 2) hydrogen primary battery thing isn't that expensive, or finicky for that matter. I'm not like a hydrogen believer, I just loathe incorrect technical understandings on the Internet, like any techy person would.
