How does a Fuel Cell Vehicle work?

A fuel cell is a device that gets hydrogen and oxygen to react to produce electricity and water. So, it’s the opposite of electrolysis, wherein water splits into hydrogen and oxygen when a current is passed through it. In the past, it was difficult to produce electricity in large amounts through this process, but the technology has evolved very fast, and now we can produce enough power to propel a vehicle. Plus, we can refill hydrogen very fast – in just 3 to 5 minutes depending on the station – and we can drive up to 600 kilometres on a single charge. Plus, the only by-product is water, so it’s very clean.

Are there any dangers associated with hydrogen cars?
