The present invention provides an electric vehicle with fuel cells, which use hydrogen as a gaseous fuel, mounted thereon, a hydrogen generator supplier that feeds a supply of hydrogen to the electric vehicle, and a method of producing and feeding hydrogen. In the case where the supply of hydrogen is used as the gaseous fuel in the electric vehicle, there is difficulties in safely and widely distributing hydrogen to ensure the availability of hydrogen. The hydrogen generator supplier of the present invention utilizes, for example, the city gas, which is supplied to each house as a commercial gas, for a crude fuel and produces hydrogen from the crude fuel, in order to ensure the availability of hydrogen. The hydrogen generator supplier of the present invention is connected with piping of the commercial gas, and a supply of the commercial gas is fed as the crude fuel to the hydrogen generator supplier. The hydrogen generator supplier reforms the crude fuel to produce a hydrogen rich gas and subsequently separates gaseous fuel from the hydrogen rich gas. Connecting the hydrogen generator supplier with the electric vehicle via a specific connector enables the gaseous hydrogen, which is produced from the commercial gas used as the crude fuel, to be supplied to the electric vehicle. The hydrogen generator supplier of the present invention enables the supply of hydrogen to be used as the gaseous fuel in the electric vehicle, without founding a new distribution system of hydrogen. |
