Hydrogen Fuel Cells - Disadvantages - 0 views
-
Fuel cells are currently very expensive, but since they have a simple construction, mass production costs would become extremely low.
-
Prototype fuel cells last only 1/5th as long as would be needed to make fuel cells cost-effective.
-
They are energy losers because it costs more to produce hydrogen than is earned by using hydrogen in fuel cells: Electricity generated by fuel cells in cars costs thousands of dollars per kilowatt: This would have to fall by a factor of 10 for fuel cells to become economically viable.
