The highly flammable element that tends to explode? A company like Tesla isn't capable of taking consumer safety serious enough to get anyone to buy a hydrogen powered car.
Correct, hydrogen powered cars will come from Toyota, BMW, VW but not Tesla. Hydrogen will begin to have majority of auto market around 2050. Until then IC engines will continue to rule.
Just absurd. If you thought it was difficult to permit EV charging stations wait til you try to permit H2 stations.
Yet they exist in CA, a state that regulates everything to the nth degree. And where is all this H2 coming from, and who is distributing it?
All of the major fossil fuel players (ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, etc) who will be adding hydrogen pumps to their existing gas stations as they transition from gas to hydrogen fuel provisioning). The only way it could possibly be affordable is if electricity is cheap which a) seems unlikely and b) just suggests we should use EVs.
The aforementioned fossil fuel companies are all building Hydrogen production facilities to produce hydrogen at scale which will be distributed using their existing delivery infrastructure.
The idea that we will go from a single model of hydrogen vehicle in 2025 to a a whole new fuel infrastructure and a majority of the market in 2050 is silly.
A number of companies (BMW, Honda. Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, etc.) are working to develop hydrogen vehicles for passenger and commercial use.
