#2I was testing something and forgot NextDNS was off.
There are so many Ads in a single article I am thinking if I should flag this.

#3Hydrogen is very appealing, but the lack of a distribution system makes it highly unlikely. It's hard to see Toyota and Honda continuing to make hydrogen cars much longer. Maybe for trucks?

#4For a nice background on the physics of hydrogen as a transport fuel, see a recent episode of the Fully Charged podcast.
Tldr: it's very much not a good fuel, in several dimensions.

#6The problem with hydrogen is the lack of infrastructure. EVs have suffered from the same problem too but are arguably over the hump. Starting from zero again with range anxiety and no fueling stations sounds exhausting.

#7A thinly veiled advertisement for Kraftwerk Tubes, whose founder Sascha Kühn has at least once before completely failed to deliver.

#8Hydrogen cars are incredibly inefficient.

#9I've read Company X develops Hydrogen car for decades now. Not an expert on feasibility, but I doubt any of these cos. have the guts to start a new category like this, and will wait for somebody else to prove value first. This is how Tesla prospered in the first place.

On top of that it’s way more difficult to install a hydrogen charging station than an ev-charging station.
On the other hand, in Poland at least, natural gas charging stations managed to get enough traction - every gas station ofers LPG here.
