Are Fuel Cell Cars Dangerous?

Question

Would the cummulative build up of H2O emmissions cause Ice problems in cold weather? Even the small amount that is emited could have a problem on a 50,000+ car commute like I have.

Answer 1

The friction from bonding the hydrogen from the 2 oxygen molecules would generate heat and that would make it very hard to have ice problems. The biggest problem is that hydrogen is extremely explosive on impact if you got in a crash unless the hydrogen tank was protected very well.

I think electric cars are very safe and ideal for the future of driving.

Answer 2

Ice formation would be very unlikely.  With that many cars driving any liquid water that made it to the road would be dispersed and evaporated before it could form ice.  It would take very cold temperatures before it could cause a problem.  And even then we already have methods to keep the roads clear of ice when it rains and snows in the winter.  Sand and Salt would take care of the problem quite easily.  

Cars currently emit water in the exhaust from gas burning engines and hydrogen burning cars would not emit significantly more than current gas models. And even though it is more, most of the water is still warm enough that it is in the form of a vapor and not liquid.
