The comparison of the usage for both of the fuel cell and battery power has found that battery-powered forklifts are more cost-effective compared to fuel cell-powered forklifts when lower levels of discounted power are available. However, with an increase in social cost of carbon (SCC) and discounted power available, fuel-cell-powered forklifts become more cost-effective. The benefit of fuel-cell-powered over battery-powered in higher levels ofavailable discounted power is due to the lower operation and maintenance cost of fuel cells compared to batteries and the lower seasonal storage cost of hydrogen compared to batteries.
