What is?
The fuel cell electric vehicle (Fuel-Cell) using hydrogen and oxygen in the air under the action of the electric energy by an electrochemical catalyst reaction generated in the fuel cell, and as the primary power source driving car.

You know what?
is essentially fuel cell electric vehicle is an electric vehicle, in the vehicle body, the power transmission system, control system, fuel cell electric vehicles and ordinary electric vehicles substantially the same, the main difference that the battery different works. In general, a fuel cell by an electrochemical reaction of the chemical energy into electrical energy, the desired electrochemical reaction of hydrogen reducing agent is generally used, the oxidizing agent with oxygen, so the earliest development of the fuel cell electric vehicle mostly uses a direct hydrogen fuel, storage of liquefied hydrogen can be hydrogen gas, compressed hydrogen or metal hydrides like. (Audi Q5Fuel-Cellhybird, Benz B Fuel-Cell)
further comprises a dual fuel cell vehicle. Having two fuel supply systems, a liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas is supplied, another set of fuel supplied to the other, two fuel supply system supplying fuel to the combustion chamber in a predetermined ratio, mixing the combustion in the cylinder of the car, such as diesel – compressed natural gas dual-fuel vehicles, diesel – LPG dual-fuel vehicles and other such vehicles.

What are the advantages and disadvantages?
advantages
* reducing pollution, economic and strong: the use of clean gasoline cars, emissions of hydrocarbons (the HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) will be greatly reduced, it is good for everyone.
· fuel: improved fuel system clean, the degree of atomization of oil, the mixture is completely burned, maximize power.
– to improve the running performance: to start the engine, speed stable, good acceleration performance.
· ride comfort.
· security is better.
drawbacks
* is not very mature technology, compared with other fuel cells, more complex structures.
