For instance, the charging times when compared to refueling a tank full of fuel and the range anxiety associated with current-generation vehicles are some of the factors that are affecting this transition.
To that extent, BMW has completed the hot-weather testing of its vehicles in its iX5 Hydrogen pilot fleet, helping to prove the viability of the technology in extreme conditions. The test, which happened in the United Arab Emirates, showed that the vehicle's fuel cell propulsion system optimally in the presence of sand and dust, variable slopes, and considerable changes in humidity in addition to temperatures that reached 45°C.
In the end, depending on the requirements of the particular driving condition, the fuel cell power is produced in one of two ways. It either goes to the electric motor, which powers the car directly, or it charges a battery, which serves as a temporary energy reserve until the drive is required. This "buffer" battery is considerably smaller and lighter than the battery in an all-electric vehicle. The fuel cell also continuously recharges it.charging times, which depend on.
A pair of 700-bar carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic tanks store the hydrogen the fuel cell needs to function. These tanks can contain around six kilograms of hydrogen when combined. Because of its storage capacity, the BMW iX5 Hydrogen has a WLTP cycle range of 313 miles .
