    Why so much hatred in the comments? Hydrogen can be produced from renewable or non renewable sources just like electricity. Could there not be a place for hydrogen in heavy vehicles which really need fast refilling and long range with a heavy load? Can’t BEVs and hydrogen vehicles coexist as complementary technologies?

      yeah maybe if someone can crack the decades-old problem of storing hydrogen at pressure, apparently it is damned hard to contain effectively which is one reason why it's been "just about to happen" for so many years now

      @@Mububban23 Just as EV's were then the digital age helped develop higher density, lighter, reliable, mass produced batteries. I prefer hydrogen, would love to have a home electrolyzer using all the excess solar which could power both by car and house, that is a long way off but hope to see it in 20-30 years

    i would have no problem driving a hydrogen car i had an LPG falcon for years but i will be skipping the battery electric vehicle step i plan on driving my 2022 petrol triton until hydrogen becomes a viable option if it's not i'll buy another petrol car if there is a set date they are getting banned

      Yes, hydrogen becomes the storage medium of the energy, it has highest energy per mass of any fuel a great way to soak up solar during peak periods, I think hydrogen is the current endgame for fuel but it is still a way off.

    Using hydrogen to power big vehicles makes more sense than midsize and smaller vehicles. They might figure something out in the future but there isn't a elegant way to put hydrogen tanks into a vehicle

  • @fleachamberlain1905
    @fleachamberlain1905 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It's hard to imagine hydrogen reaching price parity, let alone being cheaper (which it would need to be to interest me, as one reason I'm interested in electricity is petrol is too expensive), than petrol or diesel, as it seems expensive to make for one thing. I also won't be able to refuel at home, while I'm sleeping, like I will be able to with an EV.
    Hydrogen may play a part in the future, but for a variety of reasons, not the biggest part.

  • @thearlongpark
    @thearlongpark 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hydrogen does not make sense for small vehicles like cars, they are viable for big vehicles like ships or locomotives. If driving an EV gets you range anxiety then get PHEV or HEV. Unless I'm missing something what do FCEV cars have over PHEV or even HEV? Nobody will spend ten thousand dollars more on FCEV cars over PHEV/HEV for environmental reasons alone.

    Disappointed in Chasing Cars.
    Stating that electric cars are powered by coal? Are we still in 2010?
    EVs are powered by electricity that is increasingly produced by renewable sources.
    Hydrogen on the other hand is (99.8%) produced by steam reformed methane.

    I kind of disappointed with this short review. BMW cars always drive like a BMW does a highly dynamic vehicle. The review does not mention anything about the safety use of hydrogen! The tires are made from rubber/silica, as it roles , it will pickup negative ion charge particle as the vehicle inside are positively charge. A person inside will be static electricity charged. A million to 1 chance the vehicle will ignite. Why is there a lottery winner every Saturday. A Hindenburg disaster waiting to reappear? In Victoria Australia, Coal fire power generators stations are fast disappearing. Only renewable will survive plus most likely smaller modular nuclear power stations are built under ground. BEV are coming soon with 1000KM range with 500 to 800WHours charging rate (CATL) Model Y Juniper?. The idea of using Hydrogen fuel vehicles dated back in the 1930s.
