Hydrogen

  • Can be done via fuel cell to electric drivetrain, or combustion similar to a standard Internal Combustion Engine powered car

Advantages

  • Relitively Quick Refueling
  • Higher Capacity/energy Density? (need hard data)
  • Easily replaceable storage parts (tanks vs lithium ion batteries)

Disadvantages

  • Infastructure
    • Electricity is everywhere, and charging stations are not hard to add
    • Hydrogen alone is uncommon, but can be made relitively easy by steam reforming
    • It then requires compressors and/or cyrogenic coolers
  • Storage Methods:
    • Either Ultrahigh Pressure Compression or Cryogenic, both requiring expensive fueling stations, and storage tanks

Electric

Advantages

  • No conversions needed (ie no fuel cell or ICE)
  • Common Infastructure

Disadvantages

  • Expensive batteries
  • Slow Recharge Time
  • Less Capacity/Energy Density? (need hard data)
