Fuel cell electric vehicle

A fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV, Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) is a vehicle that is equipped with a "fuel cell (= stack)", and runs on an electric motor. Fuel cells use hydrogen as a fuel, and extract electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction with oxygen. Unlike cars that run on fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel oil, FCEV are the ultimate eco-cars that do not emit carbon dioxide (CO2). In addition, hydrogen can be extracted from various substances, so it can be said to be an inexhaustible source of energy. In order to increase the convenience of FCEV, it is necessary to develop social infrastructure to utilize hydrogen.
