Abstract: Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV), as electric vehicles, have the potential to significantly reduce dependence on petrol and lower harmful emissions that contribute to climate change. Moreover, hydrogen, as the common type of power source for fuel cells, offers FCVs the ability to fast fully refuel within minutes, which cannot be even imagined in electric vehicles. Having vehicles like the Toyota Mirai, it seems like we are one more step closer to the future vehicles. However, several challenges still exist. Let’s see what we need to come through before we can finally touch the future, from an environmental perspective.
