Fuel cells offer an alternative for automotive systems to achieve a performance comparable or better than battery EV and ICEs. We developed a tool that calculates vehicle performance on a track according to design parameters for the fuel cell, drivetrain, and hybrid powertrain to aid a student organized team or similar small-scale vehicle race team in designing a fuel cell powered electric vehicle. Additionally, we determined the polarization curve of an existing fuel cell and demonstrated the impact of cooling on fuel cell performance.
