Electrified AWD SUVs Sedans Performance

Fuel Cell

A fuel source as abundant as it is innovative.

Although they use hydrogen, fuel cell vehicles have a battery-powered motor like EVs. The 2023 NEXO Fuel Cell can take you up to 380 miles—plus refilling the tank is similar to filling a gas tank and takes about the same amount of time. ⁠

NEXO Fuel Cell

Our hydrogen-powered SUV.
NEXO Fuel Cell is the innovative result of our approach to technology, luxury, and design. Not only is it fueled by hydrogen, it gives you an impressive EPA-estimated range of up to 380 miles with zero emissions. And refueling is similar to pumping gas, taking just 5 minutes or less.⁠

Hydrogen fuel cell safety
{{ indexSlide + 1 }} of {{ totalSlides }}
System
Although you refuel them with hydrogen, fuel cell vehicles are actually powered by an electric motor. The hydrogen in the fuel tanks travels to the fuel cell stack. Inside the stack, the hydrogen undergoes an electrochemical reaction with oxygen that’s collected through the air intake. This process generates electricity which either directly powers the motor or is stored in the battery for future use.

From hydrogen to energy
Inside the fuel cell stack, a catalyst splits the hydrogen atoms into protons and electrons. The electrons flow as electrical current to the motor which powers NEXO. The protons pass through a membrane where they combine with electrons and oxygen atoms to form water, the only fuel cell vehicle emission.

Safer than other fuels
Despite public misconception, hydrogen energy is quite safe, even safer than other fossil fuels. It’s one reason why Hyundai has been committed to fuel cell vehicles for over 20 years. To ensure the utmost safety, hydrogen fuel is stored inside highly durable carbon-fiber tanks tested to withstand extreme heat and collisions. Plus, hydrogen is the lightest element, so even if it leaks from the tank, it disperses quickly into the air, making the chances of a fire very low.

Electrified living
We’ve made it easier than ever to drive and own our fuel cell vehicle.
