This is because hydrogen trucks have a decisive disadvantage: only about a quarter of the output energy flows into the drive, three quarters is lost through conversion losses. This is not likely to fail due to the resilience of the powergrids—our trucks mainly load at midday and at night, when demand and prices are particularly low.
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging supports power flow between the grid and the car, allowing a charged vehicle to become a power source when needed and ultimately enhancing the stability of the powergrid.
The energy coming from the nation’s electric powergrid still emits large amounts of criteria and GHG emissions.

Modular design allows a smaller footprint and is therefore highly flexible during installation and also allows for future power upgrades.
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are potentially the most efficient technology for direct conversion of hydrocarbons to electricity. If it goes to market, though the new cell might not power automobiles for a while, it could land sooner in basements as part of a more decentralized, cleaner, cheaper electrical powergrid.
With a signal from the utility, APV’s can charge energy from and discharge energy to the grid wherever the vehicle is plugged, to help prevent blackouts and increase the reliability of powergrids in the utility’s local areas.
