Toyota builds the cars with H2 propellants, but doesn't tell us anything about the H2 Supplier network, which doesn't exist, so we can't buy their cars.
It’ll be there when you need it.
Toyota crown is built for the Japanese market , which has better hydrogen infrastructure , and is rarely exported .
@@dew02300 No it won't. It would cost ca. 50 times more then Tesla's supercharger network to get to the same level of service! Who is going to invest the tens of billions of dollars?
@@st-ex8506 won’t cost that much, it’s just like CNG gas stations.
Which H2 suppliers? How many H2 stations have you seen near your house lately?
H2 supply is much more complicated than people imagine.
This is like the Titanic running into the Hindenburg.
Good analogy! 😅
Better HYDROGEN
Than battery electic microwave
@@colingaskell9571 What do you mean?
Please remember that a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle (HFCV) is first and foremost an EV, with a battery... although a smaller one than that of a battery electric vehicle (BEV).
Beautiful. The car is there, but there is no fuel for it. What year will the fuel arrive?
Do a search. In my area in California, we have one single public hydrogen fueling station that's around 5 miles away from my house. One. The next closest one is 26 miles away. I'm in the SF Bay Area, by the way. You would think if hydrogen took off, it would be more successful here. But, it isn't.
@@erichtisnado1536 I live in (very) rural France.
While I charge my Model 3 at home while I sleep 90% of the time, the next gas station is 15 km distant... the nearest hydrogen station, 150 km!
EVs already makes hydrogen power obsolete. 1/10th the cost per mile.
Plus the ability to "fill up" at home for a fraction of the cost filling stations charge. Or for free if you have solar panels.... And I shan't mention the much reduced cost of servicing, compared to ICE. Oh, I just did......
correct.
4 new models they can't sell because there is no infrastructure and isn't going to be any for hydrogen. Whoopee! What a game changer!
Let's all watch how quickly these models die.
The big plus of the EV for me, is that you can charge at Home overnight.
I have a Kona EV that does a real world range of 250 miles.
So each time that I leave home I always have a 250 mile range.
No Petrol Stations.!!
you have it in a nutshell no need to give money to ppetrol chem corporations
@@smokeydization
Yeah, just give more money to the electrical companies, when a lot more ev’s start to plug into the power grid.
JCB, you know, the company that makes the yellow backhoes? are trialing hydrogen powered ice vehicles, for heavy industries.
@@Invictus357 I think hydrogen will work well for some niche applications, but EVs will probably win for private cars.
Yes indeed I find my BMW EV is similarly convenient. It is also nice to fill it up without the risk of dripping diesel on my hands or down the side of the car.
EV charging not so practical if you live in a block of flats/apartments! 😳
The big game changing news here is that Toyota still has their head stuck firmly in the sand. “Inspired by the very successful Mirai”. That would be the Mirai that just became the best selling car in the world… no, that was the Tesla MY.
This is old technology, and hasn’t taken off in the last twenty years and won’t take off now. Without a major switch in direction - which this is not- they are doomed. Their sales in China tanked >40% in the last year and the Chinese are not buying hydrogen. It’s probably already too late for the Japanese car industry.
I dont know of any public place to by Hydrogen in the US. Build a whole infrastructure for Hydrogen fueling? Electric already has charging points at every house! Add the gas stations mark up plus shipping costs. How is this going to be a game changer? Not for me.
That’s great it takes just five minutes to fill up, but if driving to the hydrogen station and back home again takes an hour (if you happen to live ‘close’ to one) then maybe EVs aren’t looking so bad.
Game changer? Toyota has changed CEOs too late. They've missed the EV revolution and are now in serious trouble. Talking about hydrogen won't fix it. Might be OK for ships, trains, trucks and perhaps aircraft, but that's about it. No hydrogen outlets anywhere near me.
Spot on.....
Look up JCB ice powered heavy vehicles.
And yes, I said ICE powered hydrogen vehicles.
@@Invictus357 Thanks. ICE diesel engines can be adapted to run on most liquids/gases that explode under pressure. The common methods of hydrogen production emit CO2 as a byproduct. Plus, hydrogen refilling stations will still face the chicken/egg problem now facing electric vehicles in Australia. Consumers in sparsely populated countries are reluctant to buy EVs while the recharging network is deficient. In capitalist countries, rolling out more chargers is problematic while the return on investment is poor due to the low percentage of EVs. Only government intervention will ensure speedy take-up.
How the F can hydrogen cars without filing points can change anything? It's like internet on the phones 15 years ago,the phone was great and very fast but the 3g was so slow and missing in many parts that you couldn't enjoy your phone. Same thing here
i think toyota will go out of buisness if they keep trying to go forward with hydrogen no one wants them they should of jumped into ev
Where does one get hydrogen?
You don't
Toyota sold 2,094 Mirai in 2022. In 2021, Toyota sold 2,629 Mirai. They sold 535 more units in year 2021 compared to 2022 with a percent loss of 20.35% YoY.
Toyota sell around 30 Mirai models per year here in the UK. They tend to be bought by organisations who have access to a hydrogen filling point on their premises. In the final quarter of 20021 - pre pandemic - Hyundai sold one (yes, just one) example of their £70k Nexo SUV in Britain..... It's going to be *decades* before hydrogen powered cars even register as a blip on UK car sales charts...... We have just 15 or so hydrogen filling points here.....
@@Brian-om2hh gaw-dang, those are some sad, sad numbers. I read they only sold 14k Mirai worldwide for their entire production run going back to 2015.
As far as I know mirai is experimental and only available as lease and owners home should be near h2 filling station. I tried to buy one only to find available as lease
Toyota will not let go of this.
They are like a pig at a potato.
Hydrogen is too expensive.
Too dangerous.
8,365 Petrol stations in the UK. This figure gets smaller each year.
"As of 1 April 2023, there were 40,150 public electric vehicle charging devices installed in the UK, within which: Charging Speed: 7,647 were rated “rapid” devices or above, this represents 19% of all charging devices. 22,338 were rated “fast” chargers, this represents 56% of all charging devices.4 May 2023". Some with as little as one or two chargers, but it is growing rapidly.
The first Hydrogen filling station opened in the uk in 2008.
2023 = 15.
None are them are located in an area useful to the general public apart from a Shell station on the M25, and Shell on the M40.
2 in Aberdeen and 1 in Orkney!
I can see large Commercial vehicle companies being very interested in hydrogen in the future.
It's not a game changer for most of the world. Hydrogen is one of the possible power source solutions for replacing petroleum and natural gas, but it is better suited to stationary than mobile applications, better suited to short range vehicle than one used in places like the US. Producing hydrogen requires electric power generation capacity and a distribution system. Transporting it in high pressure or liquid form is expensive and inefficient, while distributing it in low pressure pipelines is almost as cost effective as natural gas. Japan's home market is a good potential application for mobility ironically because it isn't afraid to use and expand its nuclear power generation capacity, is compact and geographically isolated
Also, most hydrogen available today is steam extracted from crude oil. Kinda defeats any environmental advantage hydrogen ever had. Someday... maybe, they'll use surplus renewable energy to make hydrogen, but that's a very small percentage these days.
😊O
EV are not the solution. Takes electricity generation to produce the cars and the charging of toxic batteries.
They will never sell more than 500k of all of those models combined. The market has moved on from the idea of personal cars powered by Hydrogen.
No EV? Toyota is going to be irrelevant in the future in the EV trend.
EV's days are numbered.
Hydrogen cars will outsell Ev's. Ford just admitted EV's are not the future. Ford is building Hydrogen vehicles now.
Why? I have never seen a hydrogen station to refill it… how are they going to mass produce refill stations??? Tesla has been doing ev chargers for 10 years…
True. 10 years behind and no momentum to grow. You need have a snow ball effort to push the stations now. Where is the money to start to build the stations and make it operational?
@@henrychen8256 Absolutely correct! Getting a hydrogen-fueling stations giving the same utility than Tesla's supercharger network will cost around 50 times more!!! Who is going to make such an investment??? Except for the Shell or BP of this world, putting up one or two such stations for a PR stunt, we are seeing nothing coming!
If Toyota wants to stimulate the H2 fueled vehicle market they better get in the H2 production and distribution business. Just as Tesla got into the BEV charging business. If they don’t H2 fueled vehicle market will be dead on arrival.
How many moving parts and cost of service interest me long term uhmmm how's the fueling service/fill up spaces going and can I have a Hydrogen tank at home ????
Shhh, don't ask such awkward questions......
Apart from the US who else measures in inches?
no one serious. The same with pounds and miles.
Great Britain
@@techno7761 in GB are some leftovers. Officialy they changed to metric in the last century. Even in US, all scientific institutes are working with metric system.
UK
We have around 15 hydrogen filling points in the UK, so what game are 4 new hydrogen powered cars changing here?
I think you just add water and it magically becomes hydrogen
It could change quickly though. Hydrogen is easy to make from natural gas with carbon capture, and a simple engine (as opposed to fuel cell, depending which way tech goes) doesn’t need rare and mined materials which is the fatal flaw of battery technology, which will prevent it from ever being cost effective.
The game changer is pulling Toyota down from their 'Top Three' status to 'maybe top 10' in worldwide car sales. They're losing big, and I can't believe they aren't doing something about it. I read somewhere that Tesla is the number one car manufacturer selling to former Toyota customers. As in, most people who are buying Teslas formally owned a Prius or other Toyota car. That is some massive customer base drain for Toyota. They better get with the EV game, or they'll lose their company.
@@mkyhou1160 Carbon capture is mostly an experiment at best these days.
@Enrique A Thiele Solivan ... well... provided people go filling up in the middle of the night! And those hydrogen refilling stations cost $1M a shot! Versus a supercharger that can charge about the same number of vehicles per day, but costs only around $45k... versus a gas pump, which costs around $150k (with associated tanks, etc), but which can refuel ca. 10 vehicles per hour.
It just won't happen!
Wll hydrogen leaking
Will it burst out
Is it safety incase of accident
Probably for a selective market until it gets more use but I would sure get one when possible or a hybrid of this and electric. More reliable range in all weather..
Why not a PHEV?
I don't know what's worse EC's that explode in flames or H-Cars that just explode!!
🤣🤣
Evs do not explode.
Toyota keeps falling behind, this is just more rabbit trails they go down. It’s sad to watch.
Ford is changing the game. An alternative fuel that burns in current combustion engines... with zero emissions. All current vehicles on the road can be reprogrammed to run on it. That's revolutionary.
Oh where would we be without doubters and naysayers just like those who said radio would never catch on, ICE wouldn’t replace horses, email was silly, and electricity was a fad? Cynics and critics get ready to jump into the dust bin of history. You’re toast.
Come on! Today Tesla (model Y) took the best selling car title already. Are they doubters or naysayers?
@@henrychen8256 The market has spoken, this is like keep doubling down and insisting beta max is better than vhs and will eventually prevail.
@@henrychen8256
Look up JCB and hydrogen powered ice heavy vehicles.
EV’s are not a viable alternative for heavy industries like mining, transport, farming, even the military will need diesel for a very long time yet.
@@DocK36 Correct! Toyota hydrogen program is nothing but a face-saving exercise.
When I think of a hydrogen car it brings back memories of the Ford Pinto and the explosive impact it had on the auto industry, and it was only gasoline, not hydrogen. Hydrogen could really make a huge explosive impact.
It was a huge concern, but after testing, this became a non issue. Hydrogen does not cause an explosion as expected, but because hydrogen is so light, it just escapes very quickly into the atmosphere. This is my understanding.
@@yogishnn1945 I don't know if I would trust all that I read these days. We've been lied to for decades.
@@genegoodwin8925 Yes, but if an EV's battery catches fire in a crash, it is very difficult to contain it.
@@yogishnn1945 Maybe we should go back to a horse and buggy.
@@yogishnn1945 Did you ever saw a steam engine explode? Due to overpressure?
With a 1000BAR H2 tank that is the main explosiv risk and can occur when the tank overheats.
And 1000 bar is much more than any steam engine ever had as working pressure.
Only with leakage in a closed environnement we also can get an 2H2-O2 explosion....in garages without proper ventilation is that possible.
Hydrogen? Who gonna buy these cars since there is no Hydrogen refill station out there
Where are you going to get fuel. ?
Yes some really big game changing moves that continue to play the same hydrogen game Toyota have been playing for the last 20 years
and failing
Look at JCB and hydrogen powered vehicles.
They are trialing hydrogen powered heavy vehicles, like backhoes, excavators, trucks, and tractors, using ICE powered hydrogen vehicles, and are making good progress in doing so, because ev heavy vehicles are not a viable alternative to diesel, and won’t be for the foreseeable future.
@@Invictus357 Nah mate. they are using BEV farming equipment, mining equipment and haulage because you can do all kinds of workarounds. For farms, there is always the option of generating your own power by agrivoltaics plus battery and recharging your farm equipment from that storage. Far easier than making H2 on site. MIners prefer it because no exhaust inside close tunnels. And open pit mining can use cabled machinery because the trucks, excavators etc are only within a mile or so vicinity, sometimes less, only working in the pit, so that the battery need not be that big.
@@smokeydizationone must fail to get back on top. They did it taking on the big 3 in history, im sure they can bounce back again.
So where is the green hydrogen infrastructure???
Where's the green hydrogen?
1. Infrastructure follows commitment. Just like it did with EVs.
2. Unlike battery energy, hydrogen is readily shippable from mass volume green source to the final user.
@@canwelook Except for BEVs the main charging point you are supposed to use it's the outlet you already have at home but that's not the case for Hydrogen. Without any fast chargers you can still use a small city car powered by a battery but without a hydrogen power station a hydrogen car is useless as it's the case for my country. 0 power stations across the country while almost every village has a grid connection.
@@canwelook Wrong! Telsa built the super charger stations ahead of the demands. The only way to push hydrogen cars to the public is to create a simple and cheap device to produce the hydrogen at home. OR at least take delivery of hydrogen at home (storage).
Huge solar panel farms in India.
"Highly successful Mirai"? How many sold last year in America? How many sold last year in Europe? The usual complaints are the lack of space for passengers and luggage, and lack of hydrogen filling stations.
Where are they ?
It is all well and good but there was no mention of price, which will be expensive for the car and for the fuel.
Bottom line is... the cheaper and more economical will sell and win.
Problem with FCEV's has tooo many moving parts to maintain & cost of ownership. EV's is comprised of Motor and battery. A lot less than all those FCEV's parts.
Thats hybrid
There is no hydrogen fill-ups so what is the point of this unless you put that infrastructure into place before you build the cars.
The only way to push Hydrogen cars to the public is to create a simple and cheap device to produce the hydrogen at home.
@@henrychen8256 Existing petrol stations can easily part convert to provide it once achieved mass production, home isn’t an option.
“Very successful Mirai?” I don’t think so
Toyota sell around 30 Mira models per year in the UK. If that's "very successful" I wouldn't like to see the sales numbers for any of their pi$$ poor sellers.....
This is better then electric cars , the charging time is only 5 mins which is a bit plus point
Well...5 mins, provided you don't count the 30 mins or more driving out of your way to get to a hydrogen-filling station! In my case (I live in rural France), that would even be a 300 km round trip!
My Tesla charges itself at night, while I sleep, on cheap low-time electricity!
I spend LESS time per year charging my EV away from home, than I spent at the pump with the ICE vehicle it replaced.
Charging time has become a non-issue to anyone with experience driving a modern EV! Save the ones who live in apartment buildings with no dedicated parking space. But THAT problem will be solved much faster than hydrogen-filling stations will appear. Chinese cities, for instance (but some UK cities are also starting doing it... and my little village just installed two public charge stations), are installing tens of thousands of (slow) charging stations along their public streets.
That’s assuming you didn’t show up to fuel your car immediately after someone else. Hydrogen refueling stations sometimes require 30-60 min in between fill ups to re pressurize the system 😂
It sure would be nice to see some price $$$ estimates.
Look up the price of filling a hydrogen tank. That's the deal killer right there.
Unfortunately, last time I checked, MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GAS, BUT NOTHING RIGHT NOW WILL BEAT ELECTRICITY, ESPECIALLY IF THE COST OF SOLAR PANELS DROPS AND THEY ALSO BECOME MORE EFFICIENT.
I am an original owner of a gen1 2000 tundra right off the show room floor
180k miles
production date of 9/99
When can I buy a hydrogen tundra?
Never 😂. Hydrogen cars will never take off. Cost is insane and no one is willing to install the infrastructure needed to even leave California. Fully electric tundra is likely in the works for 2030 though when Toyota finally wakes up from the nightmare they are in…
So you mean ONE Model and 4 trims.
I plug my EV in at night. It costs about 20% of petrol. How much will hydrogen cost?
Could you give measurements in meters for your European followers?
Thank you for your feedback. We will work on that for our future videos.
Can you do a video on the quantino twenty-five nanoflowcell and bi ION fuel?
Ever watch hydrogen get filled in a car? It's messy , requires a few attempts......
The connection can also freeze up in the winter, I was told...
I believe hydrogen is the way to go, check out JCB. They've built an engine for transportation and construction that's a standard engine but runs on hydrogen. To all the naysayers, the safety of the hydrogen storage tanks will be exemplary. Also keep in mind 1st generation prototypes are never as good as 4th or 5th generation. Plus the engines are light weight so reduced potholes in our roads. In conclusion, electric is flawed, always has been due to the physics. Invest in hydrogen, you'll thank me in 5 years...
Wait.. 4 new hydrogen models.... and they're all Crowns? That sounds a lot like one hydrogen model for me. I mean, the car isn't any different under the hood because of the option of a wagon or sedan with different trim levels.
Where do I get the hydrogen? At least with an EV, electricity is pretty much available anywhere. All I need is an adapter! Talk about a lack of infrastructure!!
Yes
Go Toyota 👍👌✌🏴
Here’s hoping fuel cells win!!!
For now, hydrogen is only l useful for customers in Long Beach, L.A. area, in the U.S.A., AFAIK. There's a hydrogen refill station at the Port of Los Angeles, where 18 wheelers running on hydrogen can refill. They'd probably be limited to about a 200 mile radius around Los Angeles, so they can go and return on one tank of hydrogen.
This is also currently a problem with EV's, there just aren't enough charging stations around the country, until fully EV's can go over 500 miles on a single charge, which is why I prefer a PHEV currently.
How many parts does it take to manufacture Hydro? Internal Combustion Engine vehicles use about 30,000 components, EVs require about half of that.
But yet they still cost more at half the parts. And cost way more to repair. I can replace my entire drivetrain for $15,000. To replace the battery in a Tesla is $22,000. A new motor will run you $7,000 plus labor. Plus the tires for EV's cost more as they are way heavier. For a vehicle that can't go as far on a charge as I can on a tank of gas.
@@bobriggins8862 Not that I'm ready for an EV, however asking AI it says, "Over the course of 15 years of car ownership, the electricity needed to run a battery-powered EV could cost upwards of $14,480 less than what you’d pay for gas in a similar vehicle. EV owners also save on maintenance costs because they never have to worry about oil changes or new air filters. That amounts to savings of about $330 each year x 15.
@rdefendr1737 they're lying a little. That battery isn't lasting 15 yrs. I'm not anti EV, but I live in a rural area so there isn't an abundance of charging stations, 2nd factor is we like to take trips and I definitely don't want the drive to take twice as long because I have to stop and charge for hours as opposed to a 5 minute fill-up. If I'm going more than 3-400 miles an EV just doesn't seem practical. I also need 8 passenger seating. I don't even think I can get an EV with a third tow seat, if so, I'm sure the higher cost of the vehicle will offset a lot of those maintenance costs. Also, my understanding is that when they calculate your savings from gas, its based on charging at your home, not a charging station, they cost more. I'm getting ready to buy a new vehicle now. Will probably go hybrid but not full ev.
No these decisions were made a long time ago before he even was thought of as CEO. They pretty much have the path lined out for Toyota he will just follow what they've already engineered for the future.
I will never buy a Tesla but a Hydrogen car instead.
That's bomb! B)
When you say fuel cell I suspect you mean... FOOL CELL?
hahaha yep
its MIII-RA-I nor Murai, and it means "Future" in Japanese
In europes 1 billion society we dont got enough of hydrogen chargers.... But world will change is my thinking as ev charges too long before to drive.... good smart way...
Only for Japan?
Trust me. Toyota consequences will be like NOKIA. No latest innovation and technologies. Technologies are changing very fast nowadays day by day.
and yes i saw japanese pigs flying yesterday fueled no doubt on hydrogen
Hydrogen BOMBS on wheels.
Hydrogen needs to be manufactured. This will use up electricity. For example, via electrolysis. Or some other industrial process. It is not a naturally occurring substance. It will also require storage and shipping and distribution to sales outlets. Such as converted petrol stations. Hydrogen is highly inflammable and difficult to store. So Hydrogen will not eliminate CO2, which emits instead from the power station and not the car. How many Hydrogen filling stations are there in your city? I know of none where I live. And what about long distance routes? Where exactly can you get a Hydrogen refill out in the sticks?
I like this option vs governments being able to turn off all electric cars
I would rather see Toyota put more effort in the hybrid technology; make it more powerful, yet more fuel efficient. The new Prius is a huge improvement over last year's model.
Also very smart of Toyota having new prius prime having solar roof. It can get charge by direct sunlight. Toyota genius ideal. Also love new sporty look of prius prime.
If Toyota has already been working on hydrogen power for 30 years according to the poster, it already proven that it is not successful because the fuel is not widely available like electric where you can get it at the convenience of your home. Maybe it was a unsuccessful plan someone made years ago and they should've been let go.
Their hybrid cars however has shown to be efficient, reliable and extremely cost effective to build; a hybrid RAV4 was only $1400 more than the non-hybrid model a year ago before the price hike (now $3K more) due to extreme demand.
A study was done about owners of hybrid cars and they found out that the vast majority of them are not plug in in their vehicle. Moreover with the few miles you have on the battery alone it becomes very inefficient when you are driving on gaz as you now carry the extra weight of 2 technologies on your hybrid car. Fully electric is the way to go.
Game over for Japan.
Still the elephant in the room... The horrendous costs involved in the infrastructure to get us there. We lack grid capacity to enable battery electric vehicles for the majority; by the time you quadruple the transformers, transmission line expansion and other necessary improvements; all of us, will have to pay high home electric rates for a supply that currently causes pollution from fossil fuel production just not in your backyard to quadruple or more electric supply. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles require Hydrogen; from what I'm informed, only Hawaii and California have Hydrogen filling stations... The current costs for a Hydrogen plant is at $Billion plus trucking distribution and filling stations infrastructure! How about an immediate 10K sur charge for each vehicle's infrastructure impact for we that choose not to go there?
Its about time. Electric doesn't interest me, since its not ready for prime time.
When do you think hydrogen vehicles will be ready for prime time ?
where are they going to fill their tanks with hydrogen? imagination? lol
Good luck
the cars look frekking boring!
Hydrogen Blasts - Simple Science, It's a Ticking Time Bomb on Roads.
Stop it Chicken Little.
Hydrogen is incredibly inefficient and does not have a future apart from a few niche applications. Battery vehicles are the future.
Switch inches to centimeters, it's difficult to visiualize and compare to other vehicles.
Guess its still an electric powertrain....maybe they design a swappable battery to fuel cell option to derisk? Most cooler countries need to replace their gas networks......sure a hydrogen infrastructure will establish itself over next decade in cooler countries.
Hydrogen is a dead end
one word ... hindenburg
Hydrogen is more polluting than gasoline the name of the game as I understand it is to reduce pollution. It Hass to be more efficient then 20 to 40 miles per gallon. EV cars are five times more efficient than that. I wouldn’t park a hydrogen fuel car in my garage Because I know hydrogen can easily leak and it is when combined with other elements highly explosive they must know something I don’t know after all they invested billions of dollars remember solid-state batteries are just about ready to hit the market and when you get the range to 600 to 900 miles on an EV car that’s tough to beat especially if the car is extremely safe extremely reliable
How nice, a giant paperweight that looks nice. Let's concentrate on EV battery tech, I see it doubling each year from now until 2030. Forget BS like hydrogen, "the greatest new rotary engine that'll wipe out EV's", and other such BS". Some of the progress with fusion is interesting, but it won't drive me to the local supermarket.....
Very successful Mirai! 😂 really?! Less than 3,000 per year in each of 2021 and 2022 with 2022 being fewer than 2021. Lol, that's successful?
This sounds like it was written by Toyota. Very wooden text.
If Toyota can have engine making hydrogen from water it will sell. Car fill with water. Building hydrogen station is costly
Physically impossible
Its still a concept, real world is not viable
Very successful Mari?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ain't nobody buying hydrogen cars
A Hindenberg in every garage.
Much better idea than batteries
Fire Akio Toyoda. Sell Toyota stock now!!!!!!! WE THE PUBLIC MEAN BUSINESS TOO!!!
Hydrogen fuel efficiency:
1. lump of coal to electricity at power plant ( 40% efficient)
2. Transmit electricity to fueling station (30% efficient)
3. Convert water to hydrogen with electrolysis (70% efficient)
4. Compress hydrogen (requires electricity)
5. Convert hydrogen to electricity with fuel cell (40% efficiency)
6. Power electric motors to drive wheels (70% efficiency)
From the original lump of coal 0.40 * 0.30 * 0.70 * 0.40 * 0.70 = 2.3% efficient. This is much worse than gas powered cars and will require much more coal to be burned to provide the necessary electricity and many more power plants to be built. Hydrogen makes no sense and riding on top of 10,000 psi compressed hydrogen tanks is dangerous.
Where are you getting these BS efficiency numbers?
@@jeffmckie7300from a place you never went to….SCHOOL.
Oh dear oh dear. Will never work for cars, that race is already over. The biggest problem Toyota have is their culture and they just won’t admit they’ve got it wrong and drop this. Shame I really don’t want Toyota to fail but I’m afraid going down this route will leave them as a footnote in automaker history.
No, Toyota is unlikely to go bankrupt. Japan, Inc. won't allow it. It would be too many tons of egg on their collective face! However, they may well survive as a shadow of their former self.
I will believe in hydrogen when Toyota builds a network of hydrogen superchargers, like Tesla started in 2012 his Superchargers network. Have a look at Bjorn Nyland video "H2 is doomed", and when at a hydrogen station, somebody fuels before you, you have to wait for one hour, because the station prepares your hydrogen. Not very convenient. Also the efficiency is very poor, compared to electric.
I’d like you to do a video on JCB, and how they are trialling ICE using hydrogen powered heavy vehicle’s, such as backhoes, excavators, trucks, and tractors, because ev powered heavy industrial vehicles are not an option for the foreseeable future.
And what they are doing can be easily transposed to passenger vehicles.
We already did a video about JCB.
You can check it here: th-cam.com/video/d4BnSty_UA0/w-d-xo.html
big mines in australia who use the biggest of the big are converting to EVs
People are forever prattling on about the volatility of hydrogen and what would happen in a car accident if the tank was ruptured. I'm pretty sure the motor manufacturers are fully aware of this fact and will develop fuel tanks and systems accordingly. I highly doubt we would see another 'Hindenburg' incident in the event of a hydrogen fueled car being involved in an accident. And in any case, what would happen if a tank filled with petrol/gas was ruptured in an accident? I may be far from the most intelligent person in the world, but would escaping petrol dribble benignly down the drains - or erupt in a fireball? The volatility of the fuel isn't at the forefront of someone's mind when buying one of today's current crop of ICE powered cars.

Hydrogen cars are way better than their electric counterparts
In what respect? They certainly can't match an EV on efficiency or running costs, so what else is there? Hydrogen cars are also more expensive than EV's, type for type.....plus there is hardly any hydrogen infrastructure. It's difficult to see where the "way better" part comes in......
Well supported an argument, indeed!
its a game changer in the wrong direction These cars are destined to be nothing more then boat anchors hydrogen is the equivalent of the beta max
Waste of capital.
