Marina Schwarz + 1,576 January 12, 2018 I just saw Hyundai has unveiled a hydrogen-fueled SUV at the CES. The range is pretty respectable as far as I gather but do hydrogen cars really have a future like EVs? I've been hearing this and that about companies trying to make it more mainstream but I have my doubts. Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 12, 2018 Power outlets are feasible for every country. Can you imagine countries, even those averagely well, setting up a dense network hydrogen fueling stations? Â Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV January 12, 2018 I would buy a hydrogen car because it's seems superior to electric and hybrid cars in every aspect. Nice to see a progress on this front. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP January 12, 2018 Many countries already have nationwide H2 station network and its enough for current level of deployment. You refuel your car in 5 minutes and drive about 300 miles. Than why would you like to bother with outlets, extension cords and charging batteries? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 12, 2018 Well if you look at the world H2 fueling station map you will find only 200 in Europe and Asia. Not even a network. And all major cities have more than 200 gas stations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seleskya + 50 AS January 12, 2018 What about US? I know no-one with a hydrogen car ... plenty with EVs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK January 12, 2018 Same problem with infrastructure. Only 39 hydrogen fueling stations, basically all in CA and four in three other states. https://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/hydrogen_locations.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
