​The Case for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles: Efficiency and Scalability

Author: John Li, Technology Analyst at IDTechEx Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) continue to sell in the thousands, while battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales exceeded 10 million in 2024. A common argument is that battery electric powertrains are simply much more efficient than both internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and FCEVs. IDTechEx's analysis shows that triple the energy supplied to a BEV reaches the wheels compared to an FCEV. While this is certainly important, it does not tell the whole story. IDTechEx analyzes both the advantages and disadvantages of fuel cell…
