Everything else being equal, a fuel cell vehicle using hydrogen will take it two to five times further than one using batteries : While most fully electric vehicles can travel between 100-200 miles on a single charge, hydrogen ones can get to 300 miles, according to   AutomotiveTechnologies . The Tesla goes 300 miles on a single charge, but it is a very expensive investment.  Further, one pound of hydrogen gas has 236 times more energy than one pound of lithium-ion batteries. In any case, it makes no sense to select a hydrogen-powered fuel cell car now because clean hydrogen is too expensive.  95% of all the available supply today comes from reforming natural gas.  Plus, battery-charging stations are mushrooming throughout the world, which is not so for hydrogen stations. While electric vehicles today mostly use electricity from fossil fuel power plants, in time this problem should be alleviated when more sunlight, winds and other renewable options become prominent....
