A new study published has confirmed that Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are unlikely to catch up to battery-electric vehicles. The auto industry has recently been divided on new solutions that eliminate emissions from their products. 

A large number have been certain that battery-electric vehicles (BEV) are the best solution, however a few automakers have instead been trying to make fuel cell hydrogen powertrains work. 

Brands including Hyundai, Toyota, and GM have been the most resistant in giving up on the technology, which can also achieve zero-emission transport, but is proven to be much less efficient than BEVs.

For passenger cars it seems the end of fuel cells (FCEV) are inevitable.

Some of the biggest FCEV programs in the world have failed to gain any reactions after years and billions invested. 

Another main factor that affects both FCEVs and BEVs is infrastructure problems. However, BEVs have the great advantage of having to build on an already extensive electric grid infrastructure with virtually every electric outlet in the world being a potential charging station.
