Hyundai Nexo
Hyundai has a few electric and hybrid vehicles in its lineup, but the company also sees potential in fuel cell technology, which is why the hydrogen-powered NEXO is offered in Canada. This fully electric crossover, about the size of a Tucson, produces 161 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque. More importantly, it can travel up to approximately 570 kilometres between fill-ups. But that’s just the problem: the refueling infrastructure is still not ready to support public sales.
