Trivia: Germany’s 2001 fair debuted the first mass-produced car powered by what?
Water
Hydrogen
Electricity
Compost
The correct answer is Hydrogen
So why is this answer correct? : In 2001, German carmaker BMW debuted the first production-based hydrogen-powered car at the World’s Fair in Hanover, Germany. Called the 750 hL, the hydrogen was stored cryogenically at -418 degrees Fahrenheit in a steel tank behind the back seats. The range of the electric fuel cell was about 250 miles, and while the car was produced for sale, only about 100 vehicles were made available for people deemed influential enough to be ambassadors of the brand. As of 2022, the only so-called “fuel cell electric vehicles” being mass produced are the Toyota Mirai and the Hyundai Nexo.
