The verdict

What's good

  • Refuels in about five minutes, unlike any battery EV
  • Over 500 miles between fills
  • Whisper-quiet, richly equipped cabin
  • Only tailpipe output is water vapour

What's not

  • Refuelling only realistic in parts of California
  • Costs well above comparable battery SUVs
  • Hydrogen itself is expensive and scarce
  • Modest power for the money

The engine

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric

Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Stack + Electric Motor

A fuel-cell stack combines hydrogen with air to generate electricity on board, driving a front electric motor — so it runs like an EV but refuels like a gas car.

Hyundai's second-generation fuel-cell SUV, building on the first Nexo as one of the few hydrogen passenger cars still sold anywhere.
