Fuel cells using hydrocarbons, methanol and ammonia fuels, and air as oxidant are evaluated for vehicle propulsion; fuel cell power systems for vehicles require that fuel cell weight be added to weight of electric motors and controls; battery-powered vehicles have same disadvantage of greater weight without capability of producing electrical power; only fuel cell systems which are now capable of propelling vehicles are expensive, comparatively large and heavy, and require fuels and oxidant which are dangerous and expensive; hydrocarbons, methanol, and ammonia are possible fuel cell fuels, but to date no practical vehicle power systems using these materials directly with air have been devised.
