    How does the weight of fuel cells compare to batteries?

      I can’t find the exact figures, as it depends on battery range and battery tech. One study I’ve seen found a battery truck would weigh over 5000kg more than a hydrogen-electric version.

      I’ve also seen figures of double the weight for a Li-Ion battery EV compared to HEV at ranges above 300 miles.
