Drawbacks to Hydrogen Car

Drawbacks to Hydrogen Car

Hydrogen Supply At this time there are very few stations that supply

hydrogen cylinders to power a car

$$$$$$ Very expensive to buy a hydrogen car Very expensive to equip a car with a hydrogen fuel

cell.

Dangerous Hydrogen gas is very volatile!!
