Who invented the fuel cell car?

The invention of the fuel cell car is credited to Swiss scientist Christian Friedrich Schönbein, who first proposed the idea in 1839. However, it wasn't until the early 20th century that practical fuel cell vehicles began to be developed. In 1966, General Motors introduced the Electrovan, the first hydrogen-powered fuel cell car. The Electrovan was followed by a number of other experimental fuel cell vehicles, but it wasn't until the late 1990s that fuel cell cars began to be commercially produced. In 1997, Toyota introduced the Toyota FCHV, the first fuel cell car to be mass-produced. The FCHV was followed by a number of other commercially produced fuel cell cars, including the Honda FCX Clarity, the Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, and the Mercedes-Benz GLC F-Cell.
