• To learn about renewable energy

• To test the durability of the car

How does a hydrogen fuel cell car generate electricity?

• Through a chemical reaction involving hydrogen and oxygen

• Through wind energy

• By burning hydrogen

• By using solar panels

What is the role of the platinum catalyst in a hydrogen fuel cell?

• To provide structural support

• To cool down the system

• To activate hydrogen and facilitate ionization

• To store hydrogen

How is hydrogen stored in the car?

• As a compressed gas in a multi-layer tank

• As a vapor in a glass tank

• As a liquid in a single-layer tank

What materials are used in the construction of hydrogen storage tanks?

• Plastic, carbon fiber, and glass fiber

• Steel, aluminum, and rubber

• Wood, plastic, and glass

• Copper, tin, and lead

What extreme test is performed to ensure the safety of hydrogen tanks?

• Exposing to high temperatures

• Piercing with armor-piercing rounds

• Submerging in water

• Dropping from a height

What is a unique feature of driving a hydrogen fuel cell car compared to a gas-powered car?

• It emits carbon dioxide

• It requires frequent oil changes

• It requires planning around refueling stations

• It has a loud engine noise

Why is there a need for collaboration among automakers in the hydrogen fuel cell space?

• To standardize components and regulations

• To reduce production costs

• To develop new car designs

• To share marketing strategies

What is one of the main challenges of using hydrogen as a fuel?

• High emission levels

• Limited refueling infrastructure

• Slow refueling process

• High noise levels

What is Toyota's argument for pursuing hydrogen fuel cell technology?

• It is easier to produce than other technologies

• Battery electric vehicles alone cannot meet emission targets

• It can be used in all types of vehicles

• It is cheaper than battery technology
