==Description and purpose of fuel cells in vehicles== {{further|Fuel cell}} All fuel cells are made up of three parts: an electrolyte, an anode and a cathode.<ref>[http://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/fuelcells/basics.html "Basics"], U.S. Department of Energy, Retrieved on: 2008-11-03.</ref> In principle, a hydrogen fuel cell functions like a battery, producing electricity, which can run an electric motor. Instead of requiring recharging, however, the fuel cell can be refilled with hydrogen.<ref>[http://www.fuelcells.org/basics/how.html "What Is a Fuel Cell?"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081106102819/http://www.fuelcells.org/basics/how.html |date=2008-11-06 }}, The Online Fuel Cell Information Resource, Retrieved on: 2008-11-03.</ref> Different types of fuel cells include [[PEMFC|polymer electrolyte membrane]] (PEM) Fuel Cells, [[DMFC|direct methanol fuel cells]], [[phosphoric acid fuel cell]]s, [[molten carbonate fuel cell]]s, [[SOFC|solid oxide fuel cells]], [[RMFC|reformed methanol fuel cell]] and Regenerative Fuel Cells.<ref>[http://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/fuelcells/fc_types.html "Types of Fuel Cells"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100609041046/http://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/fuelcells/fc_types.html |date=2010-06-09 }}, U.S. Department of Energy, Retrieved on: 2008-11-03.</ref>
