What is a fuel cell car and how much does it cost?

Question

How many miles do they get per gallon.

Answer 1

cost less every year.

perhaps it might beat gasoline someday

Answer 2

$ 60. 00 + 1 hour of work

splitting water into H2 and O thorugh process of electrolysis, watch hydrogen car on youtube for the rest of details, yahoo won't let me post a detailed answer

Answer 3

A fuel cell car is a car that act's exactly like a battery car except it's more expensive and must use hydrogen which is a gas which must in a tank similar to a barbecue tank which is under pressure and can't hold as much because it's in the form of a gas. This great car will need to be refueled more often since the tank will hold less. Oh and unless the hydrogen is super clean then it will fowl the fuel cell in a 1 or 2 years which they don't no how to clean cheaply. And Hydrogen will be more expensive then gasoline. What a stupid substitute for a battery car with a 30 hp gas generator back up. When the car is at home it can be recharged. If the car battery gets to low a generator will start up and provide direct electricity to the car to keep it going. It wouldn't take much gasoline to run a 30 hp generator so this would also give great mileage.

Answer 4

a fuel cell is an device that you feed hydrogen gas into and it makes electricity.  The electricity is then used to run electric motors. So they are really an electric car and instead of having nice simple batteries that store the energy, they store the energy as hydrogen at extremely high pressures,

You really can't buy these yet.  Honda will lease you one, much like GM did with the EV-1 of the "(Who killed the electric car" fame).  Estimates are that if you could buy one, the cost would be over $100,000.  Since they use a gas for fuel, there is no mileage.  What we use is MPG based on a gasoline equivalent.  They will get about 40 MPG, BUT the FUEL (hydrogen) costs more than gasoline, so on a $ per mile rate, they will cost more than a 35 MPG car.
