Fuel Cell

Carbon is the chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. As a member of group 14 on the periodic table, it is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. There are three naturally occurring isotopes, with 12C and 13C being stable, while 14C is radioactive, decaying with a half-life of about 5730 years. Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity. The name "carbon" comes from Latin language carbo, coal.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity, powering the electric motor. Unlike battery electric vehicles (BEVs) which store electricity in a battery, FCEVs produce electricity on board using a fuel cell. This electricity then powers an electric motor, allowing the vehicle to drive. The hydrogen is stored in a special fuel tank.
