Then the gas has to be compressed, chilled and transported, which loses another 10%. The fuel cell process of converting hydrogen back to electricity is only 60% efficient, after which you have the same 5% loss from driving the vehicle motor as for a BEV. The grand total is a 62% loss \u2013 more than three times as much. Or, to put it another way, for every kW of electricity supply, you get 800W for a BEV, but only 380W for an FCV \u2013 less than half as much. That\u2019s a huge inefficiency if you\u2019re hoping for a greener future, and doesn\u2019t even take into account the fact that 95% of hydrogen is currently generated from fossil fuel sources&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jamesmorris\/2020\/07\/04\/why-hydrogen-will-never-be-the-future-of-electric-cars\">https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jamesmorris\/2020\/07\/04\/why-hydrogen-will-never-be-the-future-of-electric-cars<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;With a hydrogen fuel cell, however, you first have to convert the electricity to hydrogen via electrolysis, which is only 75% efficient.
