Fuels are contrasted with other methods of storing potential energy, such as those that directly release electrical energy (such as batteries and capacitors) or mechanical energy (such as flywheels, springs, compressed air, or water in a reservoir).

We don't use any LIQUID fuel for our daily commute and we don't pay for the electricity used to charge the vehicle... Assuming we just charge at work.

if I do charge at home it costs at most $1.50 for the 47 mile range if I charge from empty to full.

Default On driving a Honda Hydrogen Fuel car since 2005

Here's an interesting article from someone who has been driving a hydrogen fueled vehicle since 2005...

Quote:
My range is about 230 miles a tank, and there are two fueling stations near me that have hydrogen pumps, which look like regular pumps, only the nozzle attaches more securely. There is no protocol yet on how to charge for the fuel, so Honda has embedded the cost in the lease price [at $600 a month plus tax]. There's no charge at the pump.

The car has an electric feel. It has good acceleration and provides comfortable highway cruising speeds. There's very little noise.
