摘要：	I'll let you off the hook early on this one. Unless you work at one of the few OEM dealerships that support hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, you probably won't need much technical knowledge on hydrogen (as a vehicle fuel) for a while. But knowledge is power and perhaps we will be seeing more of this technology in the future. The implementation of fuel cell electric vehicle technology (known in shorthand as FCEVs) is progressing much more slowly than projected 10 years ago and is seemingly being pushed aside by the aggressive growth of electric cars. Nevertheless, many industry analysts still say that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are our future, will be a preferred long-term choice over electric cars, and that we should be prepared to support the technology once it becomes more mainstream. I'd have to agree with them. On the surface, fuel cell vehicles look pretty darn attractive: 1. They run solely on the most widely available element on the earth, hydrogen 2. They are a true "zero-emission" vehicle, with only water vapor emitting from the tailpipe 3. Millions of dollars in private and public money are being invested in their development 4. There are multiple state and federal incentives available to buyers that can take a big chunk out of a new FCEV purchase price So, it looks like these vehicles check all the boxes that would make them a growing force in today's alternative and green vehicle market. So why is it, then, that hydrogen vehicles and their implementation just seem to be spinning their wheels? Let's take a deep dive into fuel cell vehicles, how they work, and why they are developing at such a slow pace.
