the claim

Hydrogen fuel cell cars run on water as their fuel.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 7 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that hydrogen fuel cell cars run on water as their fuel?

No. Multiple sources state that hydrogen fuel cell cars are powered by hydrogen, with water being only the emission or a feedstock for producing hydrogen, and one reference documents 'water-fuelled car' claims as unverified fraud.
