While electric cars are becoming much more popular these days, they aren’t the only non-gas vehicles available. Companies are continually working on other ways to power cars, and the 2024 Hyundai NEXO is the latest example. Get to know this new model and how it works with this guide from Heritage Hyundai Towson.
A New Way to Power a Vehicle
The 2024 Hyundai NEXO is a completely unique car. While it does utilize a battery and electric motor like an EV, its powertrain also includes something else: hydrogen fuel cells.
In order to create power, hydrogen and air are passed through a fuel cell stack. This sets off a chemical reaction within the stack, which creates electricity for the battery. An extremely “green” way to operate a vehicle, nothing gets emitted expect water vapor.
Quick Refill Time
Unlike an electric vehicle which can sometimes take a while to charge, fueling up the 2024 Hyundai NEXO is fast. Topping off the hydrogen tanks only takes about five minutes. And when they are full, you will get up to 380 miles of driving range.
Where Are Hydrogen Fueling Stations?
As of right now, there aren’t a lot of hydrogen fueling stations in the U.S. Most of them are located in California, which is why sales of the 2024 Hyundai NEXO are taking off there. Because powering a car with hydrogen is a pretty new phenomenon, it may take some time for the infrastructure in the country to catch up.
