Introduction The global automotive landscape is undergoing a transformation of unprecedented proportions. Two prominent contenders in this shift are hydrogen-powered cars and electric vehicles (EVs). As Malaysia navigates this evolving terrain, we explore the differences between these technologies, evaluate the impact of EVs, and consider how the nation can harness these advancements for a sustainable future. Hydrogen Cars vs. Electric Vehicles: A Comparative Analysis Fueling Mechanism: Hydrogen Cars: Hydrogen cars use fuel cells to convert hydrogen gas into electricity, emitting only water vapor as a byproduct. They offer quick refueling times, similar to conventional cars. Electric Vehicles: EVs rely on electricity stored in batteries to power electric motors, producing zero tailpipe emissions. Charging an EV can take longer than refueling a hydrogen car. Emissions and Sustainability: Hydrogen Cars: Emit no harmful pollutants, making them environmentally friendly. Hydroge
