Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) in the United States use hydrogen gas to generate electricity through a chemical reaction, producing only water as a byproduct.
Popular models like the Toyota Mirai and the Hyundai Nexo are currently available to consumers in select regions.
These vehicles rely on fuel cell stacks that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity, offering a clean alternative to gasoline engines.
