The fuel cell stack coverts oxygen from the air and the stored hydrogen into electric energy to power the vehicle's 73 kW/100 hp synchronous electric motor whilst emitting only water vapor. There's also a 1.8 kWh buffer battery to store energy from the vehicle’s regenerative braking system and cover peak electrical loads.
