    Good video why only 500 views?

    Free hydrogen is not the most abandon in the universe.

    Germany built a Hydrogen refuelling network, it didn't solve the problem of take up. The ultimate problem is the expense of the fuel, this is a problem of physics and safety. Hydrogen does not give long range. Hydrogen does not offer any benefit for energy storage.

    I like the Swedish experience, I thnk it was Sweden. Man filling car with Hydrogen fuel. Something goes WRONG. THE CAR, The MAN AND the WHOLE FILLING STATION DISAPPEARED SUDDENLY. Ony a few pipes sticking out of the ground were left. Good one HYDROGEN. SCORE: HYDROGEN 1- HUMANS NIL.

    hydrogen didn't flop. It is coming full force. It is the future.

      😂😂😂😂 GO HYDROGEN IF YOU WANT TO WASTE 66 % ENERGY

    For cars the biggest problem regarding H2 is the energy loss. From well to wheel you lose 70% energy. For BEV’s that is only 30%. Also, take a look at the hydrogen ladder.

    Why is it so expensive if it’s so abundant

      I guess much was invested in the production

      In the air, hydrogen is in gas form. In order to use it as fuel, it needs to be in highly-compressed liquid form. To produce liquid hydrogen, it is extracted from water, using a lot of electricity. Makes sense that water is used as source because it has much more hydrogen atoms in the same volume compared to in air. It is expensive to produce liquid hydrogen as it needs a heck a lot of electricity. Plus, the liquid hydrogen needs to be transported to hydrogen pump stations just like gasoline and diesel does. Each hydrogen gas station, costs about $2 million dollars. So, that's why you don't see them around. Because energy needs to be converted into chemical and kept under extremely high pressure. It lost a lot of energy in conversion from electricity to chemical energy. Now compared that with EV electric vehicle. The electric power plant can be hundreds or thousands miles away, and you can plug your EV conveniently at home or at any public charging locations. There is no need to have a separate transportation like hydrogen, gas and diesel fuel do. This makes transporting / distributing electrical energy much more efficient than diesel, gasoline and hydrogen. Hydrogen at the pump is also very expensive because of the above. I watched a youtube video. It cost the Toyota Mirai driver about USD$160 to pay for a bit over 4kg (kilograms) of liquid hydrogen. That much fuel is good for about 300 miles. If you drive 1000 miles a month, the hydrogen fuel will cost you $533/month. Not cheap. If you lease a FCEV like Mirai, no surprise that it comes with $15000 worth of free hydrogen fuel to entice buyer (lessee) in California. Still, with a lot of incentives, very few people took a bite. Hydrogen FCEV is as good as dead in California. EV are far more efficient when it comes to energy conversion during charging and driving. Depending who you consult with, the typical is 95% efficiency. Very little energy is lost during transmission from power plant to your vehicle. Very little energy is lost from the car battery during driving.

    Hydrogen as a legitimate source of fuel hasn't begun yet. It will need to start with heavy industry and only then once the infrastructure is built out will it become a partial solution to private vehicles. The vehement negativity to hydrogen, like this video, is looking like a deliberate fight to protect investment in EVs.

      No there's no conspiracy theory that flies here to explain hydrogen's failure it's physics actually not conspiracy. It's just not very efficient and it's a pernicious molecule in other ways as well. It causes and any metal that it's exposed to chronically, it's actually a greenhouse gas and it's impossible to transport and store efficiently. And then there's the whole thing of how explosive it is. Can you put all those together it's a guaranteed loser. If you invest in this technology you will lose your shirt

      compare wltp range, weight and luggage space of mirai2 and tesla model3.
      EVs will be less heavy or will have more range in the future but H cars cannot be less heavy due to 700bar fuel tanks and does not have space for luggages already.
      EVs are simpler an use much less energy for the same range. And it is not just because fuel cell is not efficient enough. it is because creating, compressing , transport and filling H2 into a car is needs already much more energy than transporting electricity to an EV's battery. Therefore driving the same miles will always be cheaper by an EV even if H2 stations are on every corner in the future.

    What if the governments would made us buy them? Crazy. Glad that’s not happening with EVS…..

      And its not happening with BEV's... We are getting ban on petroleum powered new cars, which doesn't mean that you are forced to buy BEV's, it only means that you can't buy petroleum ones.
