Is it possible to convert electric cars into hydrogen-powered vehicles?

Since fuel cells power electric engines, some  wonder if EVs can be converted to run on H2  Hydrogen cars, like electric vehicles (EVs)  have been fascinatingly controversial in the   path to decarbonization, but they  are starting to grow in popularity   both among automakers and consumers. EVS have  clearly taken the lead among early adopters,  

Having gone quite mainstream in  many regions, such as California. Many wonder if EVs can be converted to run on H2  Since hydrogen cars are starting to pick up  rapidly among automakers and slightly among   drivers, an increasingly common question is  whether EVs could be converted to run on H2  

If drivers change their mind regarding  how they want to power their rides. Fuel cell vehicles use a fuel cell fed with  hydrogen to produce electricity. That electricity   powers an electric motor to move the vehicle.  Since these vehicles also use electric motors,  

It seems natural to wonder if an EV could  be converted to receive its electricity   from fuel cells instead of – or in addition  to – rechargeable batteries that plug in. The answer about hydrogen cars  isn’t what many people expect 

A fuel cell isn’t unlike a battery in the  way it is constructed. H2 enters an anode,   where it makes contact with a catalyst that  helps to separate hydrogen atoms into a proton   and an electron. Those electrons are collected  by the conductive current collector connected  

With the circuitry of the vehicle, providing the  electric motor or onboard battery with power. However, converting typical EVs into  hydrogen cars or a hybrid of the two   would likely be highly complicated. Indeed, they  are both forms of electric vehicles. Moreover,   they also both have lithium-ion  batteries to power the motor.

That said, EVs have massive batteries compared  to those used by hydrogen cars. EVs need them   because they are the only source of power,  so they are needed if any kind of range is   to be achieved. Comparatively, H2-powered  vehicles have small batteries as the vast  

Majority of the electricity is produced  by fuel cells fed by H2 stored in tanks. In theory… Technically speaking, in theory,   most of an EV’s battery could be wasted so that  the vehicle could be reconfigured to receive power   from a fuel cell. However, that would require  a substantial amount of reconfiguring to add  

The fuel cell as well as the H2 storage tanks  and everything to ensure the two are connected. As this type of equipment isn’t  readily available for purchase,   it means that a purpose designed unit  would need to be created to suit the   available space and specific needs of  the to-be hydrogen cars. Therefore,  

Realistically, the answer is “no” based on  cost, current technology and availability. Thank you for joining me today! Don’t miss our  awesome new ebook. Make sure to hit subscribe   and grab it now on the link below. Don’t  forget to leave us a comment! Thank you.
