It's worth emphasizing that, as noted in the writeup, the vehicle in this thread is still an EV. It just happens to use hydrogen as its power source.

Quote:
A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is a type of electric vehicle which uses a fuel cell, instead of a battery, or in combination with a battery or supercapacitor, to power its on-board electric motor.
By contrast, BMW's previous hydrogen concept:

was not an EV. It was a hydrogen ICE vehicle:

Quote:
A hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicle (HICEV) is a type of hydrogen vehicle using an internal combustion engine. Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles are different from hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (which use electrochemical conversion of hydrogen rather than combustion); the hydrogen internal combustion engine is simply a modified version of the traditional gasoline-powered internal combustion engine.
