During the 2024 Investor Day, Hyundai made a groundbreaking announcement about the N Vision 74 electric car, poised to lead the way in the hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric car market. This high-performance EV is designed with a 95 kW hydrogen fuel cell that promises to address the storage challenges associated with hydrogen. Inspired by the 1974 Hyundai Pony, the N Vision 74 aims to redefine performance EVs, boasting 680 horsepower and a large 62.4 kWh battery. Notably, the car features a substantial 4.2 kg hydrogen tank, offering a range that can cover the distance from Mumbai to Goa on a single tank. The quick refueling time of around 5 minutes for the hydrogen tank eliminates the long waiting periods typical of electric vehicle charging stations. While the production of the N Vision 74 is limited to approximately 200 units, it signifies a significant breakthrough in the quest to safely store hydrogen fuel. Hyundai's initiative mirrors efforts by other manufacturers like Kawasaki, which recently showcased a hydrogen-powered motorcycle. These endeavors hold the promise of a cleaner future for the automotive industry, with more sustainable and efficient fuel options becoming increasingly viable.
