Hydrogen has no future in the trucking industry when it's selling for $30 per kg. Good luck convincing fleet owners to pay 5x the cost of diesel to do the same job.

I really love your channel. You are showing many things other channels dont show. Not only cars but Trucks, charging stations and everthing in a technical details other channels dont. Thank you for that.
Thanks Kyle for this wonderful review of Nikola Motors. Your channel is the most unbiased and I and my coworkers always enjoy your reviews of cars and companies. I am loving this small company Nikola Motors. It looks like they are almost the only game in town as far as Hydrogen powered truck fleet is concerned. Others do not even have their charging infrastructure yet, but Nikola already has their HYLA charging infrastructure, which is wonderful. What if 99.99% of investors are overlooking Nikola Motors Corp? That makes me really put down my money and bought my first 500 shares at 65 to 73 cents per share. I may continue to accumulate as the company continue to progress towards a sustainable growth, profitability and worldwide acceptance with new partnerships, etc. Loving it. I always buy company stocks when the companies are still small, disruptive in nature, and not followed by institutional investors yet.
I think you need to do a side by side demo with some long time truckers each having a turn at the wheel, driving from LA to Flagstaff with conventional diesel tractor and full load with a Nikola paired up with similar load. It'd be great to see facial reactions of the "old timers"!
Great video! Glad that there is options for the businesses. And we will see if hydrogen trucks can survive. The biggest hurdle is the total cost of ownership for the company using hydrogen vehicles.
This video was awesome, nice to hear from experts on hydrogen technology. It's mostly suitable for heavy duty trucks. Kyle hope you do also one with Hyundai hydrogen truck 😊❤
I own and drive a Hyundai NEXO FCEV here in South Korea. The car is fantastic. It holds 6kg of H2 and has a 600km range. Clean efficient transportation that produces clean air and water vapor.
i would have liked to know the maintenance involved with the Hydrogen/ Fuel cell trucks. Especially the Fuel Cell unit. How many km will it run? cost involved to change it etc.
Great content, but as most Hydrogen fuel cells use precious metals that are expensive and have a finite lifespan, I wonder what the replacement cost is for both Fuel cell stacks and what the mileage you can expect?
The biggest issue I still have with hydrogen is the enormous cost needed to switch. It’s taken years to build the diesel network and it will take years to switch fuels. EV requires less infrastructure if you take replenishment into account. If it’s made on site it would requires more money time and manpower
I want to try that truck in Colorado… I have driving experience almost 1 milion miles and driving volvo d13 1.2 mil miles.. my average is 9 mpg in 2023 on amazon light loads
Looks like a well made and competent truck for sure, but I'm not sold on hydrogen yet. Even if just for large class trucks. I think what the guys at Edison motors have with their diesel hybrid is the best interim solution until better technologies and infrastructure become available. Yeah, they still burn diesel, but quite a bit less and can burn as clean as possible all the time since the generator continuously runs at peak efficiency. BEV and/or hydrogen hybrid might work for those strictly metro routes.
Great video, i wonder why they didn't decide to have a supercapcitor module for high regen or for heavy power demands to even out the demand on the battery. It might make the battery last a bit longer, and would allow for more regen energy to be captured and used. But i do realise that it would add weight and complexity and remove payload capacity. And i remeber the London Routemaster replacement bus that James May drove in his Top Gear days, had a Lithium Titatate Battery as part of its Hybrid system, its a heavier with less capacity compared to NCM/NCA and LFP but is overall the safest lithium battery tech i've seen. With the advantage of tens of thousands of cycle life and can be charged with massive C rates and not really care. So saying that. I wonder if theyll go to LTO, as i would worry about NCM/NCA being anywhere near hydrogen.
Holler 🔥 and everyone starts running to safety... In the case of #NKLA, even with the recent cash woes of doing business while handling recalls and selling products at a loss, this company is about to disrupt the entire trucking industry!!! For me, it represents the best opportunity I have at hitting the jackpot on the ground floor of this opportunity... That's why it was a no-brainer for me to pull the trigger and purchase a few thousand shares! I own #Tesla too, but it wouldn't surprise me if Tesla bought this company! ❤
YEARS AGO, The USDOT restricted simi truck/trailer combos to a max of 65ft bumper to bumper so the industry went COE (cab over engine) to save a few feet for the trailer. ALSO back then trailers were limited to 40ft MAX. So you only had 25ft for tractor. TODAY, Europe has a similar restriction thats why Europe/UK all drive COE. Today, trailers can go to 53ft. WALMART Canada has a special use permit & they are experimenting with 65ft trailers in Ca BUT those trailers cannot come across the US border. Nokola builds only COE because they intent to export to Europe/UK. !
They contain the same amount of explosive energy as the Diesel in a Diesel truck. But a lot saver as a 80.000 pound trailer full of LPG. Any more stupid questions or is this enough to cope with the drop of your Tesla stock.
@@buddy1155 Diesel needs to mix well with the oxygen in the airb for stoichiometric reaction, accidents that cause leak in the tank does not result in an instant explosion where as 700 bar container does. No need to use adhoms.
@@buddy1155 Well, diesel doesn't explode so "the same amount of explosive energy" doesn't mean a whole lot. Even inside the engine, the flame front is subsonic so it's a deflagration rather than a detonation (explosion). Any more stupid replies or is that enough to deflate your snarky bullshit? The primary safety issue is you have a carbon fiber tank at 10,000 PSIG (700 bar). If the tank fails, it splits open and goes pop. If the failure happens to be on the front of the tank, the cab will be obliterated along with anyone in it. You can go ahead and search for videos about CNG tank ruptures for a rough idea of what this looks like... but remember that CNG operates at "only" 200-250 bar. All that said, though, it's fairly safe. CNG trucks are more common than you might realize and in the US where we have actual enforcement of laws regarding inspections and maintenance, incidents are low. The tanks do have a lifespan and should be replaced depending on how old they are and how many cycles they've been through. For CNG tanks it's typically 15-20 years but again those operate at 250 bar max so 700 bar tanks might have a shorter life. Of course, if the tank gets any damage more than a minor scratch, it should get replaced...
70 Kg of Hydrogen goes 500 miles. 1 Kg of Hydrogen is $36 in California right now which is the only state it is available in. That is $2,520 for a fill up or $5.04 per mile. Hydrogen just isn’t and never will be financially feasible.
Hydrogen costs about $10 / kg in S. Korea and $16 / kg in Germany, so I'm not sure why it is so expensive in California, but even at $10 / kg, hydrogen simply doesn't compete with an electric truck. If we assume that the Tesla Semi with a 500 mile range has a 900 kWh battery, and California electricity currently costs $0.27 per kWh, then it costs $243 for 500 miles or $0.49 per mile. Even if assuming that paying $0.50 per kWh at a Megacharger, it only costs $450 or $0.90 per mile. It is insane to think that trucking companies will use Nikola's hydrogen truck, when they can use Tesla's Semi which is 5-10 times cheaper per mile. The only advantage of the Nikola hydrogen truck is that it takes 20 minutes to fuel 500 miles, whereas the Tesla Semi takes 30 minutes to do a 70% charge (or 350 miles charge) at a Megacharger. Of course, businesses will need to install their own DC fast chargers, which will be very expensive, and Tesla hasn't yet constructed the Megacharger network, so hydrogen will have a short term advantage until Tesla builds the Megacharger network, but in the long run hydrogen trucks have no future. With the fast charging batteries coming on the market that can do 4C (15 minute) charging (for example, CATL's Qilin and Shenxing batteries and Zeekr's Golden batteries), it won't be long before you can fast charge an electric truck in the same time it takes to fuel a hydrogen truck. Hydrogen frankly makes no sense from an environment sense, since it take about 7 times more energy than an electric truck, and escaped H2 causes global warming (with a GWP-100 of 11.6). I have blogged about why hydrogen makes no sense in transport, if anyone wants to Google my article: Amos Batto (Dec 24, 2023) "Why hydrogen won’t be the fuel of the future, but it will be a vital chemical input"
@@patrickskramstad1485 it won’t though. It has been increasing for years and nothing is getting built out. It is just way to costly and wasteful to ever be financially feasible.
Thanks for the very informative video, Kyle. But really! The mechanical engineering in that thing looks as complicated as a nuclear submarine. Not to be a Tesla FanBoy but I gotta think the industry will much prefer the Tesla Semi simplicity over any advantages the Nikola Hydrogen brings to the table.
With all the hydrogen vehicles I have to wonder why they are not some kind of „plugin hybrid“. They already have a battery ‒ and the battery here is quite big already. It shouldn't be that much additional cost to have the charging connector (DC only, to avoid having to add the onboard charger) and it could add a bit of range (cheaper at that) during that 20 minut fueling stop / 30 minute shift switch pause.
500 miles? Disappointing that all the additional complexity of a hydrogen fuelled generator on top of a battery electric doesn't exceed the Tesla Semi. If they try to sell these at the same price as Tesla, they will very likely have much smaller margin :\ The cabin is really nice, but you don't need a sleeper cab for something that can only drive for 1 day. On a more positive note, it would be really great to have Telsa and Nikola take over from the diesel Class 8 market and then literally the biggest vehicles on roads will be Nikola Tesla.
They got rid of their CEO Trevor Milton, who was a scam artist, and they now appear to be a credible truck maker. Because the legacy truck makers are moving so slowly, I actually think that Nikola will survive because its electric truck is better than anything the legacy truck makers are offering. Tesla's Semi is the best in the industry, but Tesla is taking forever to get it to market. As for the hydrogen truck, it will never be competitive, because it costs 5-10 times more per mile than Tesla's Semi.
So fundamentally the Hydrogen is being burned in an internal combustion engine (ICE) with over 700 plus moving parts...plus the production / storage & distribution of hydrogen costs energy. But at least the tailpipe emissions are H2O.
Hard to align a 500 mile range, with the 11 hours a driver is encouraged to drive. 11 hours at 70mph makes 770 miles in a day. There'd better be a fill station along that run.

Great content, but as most Hydrogen fuel cells use precious metals that are expensive and have a finite lifespan, I wonder what the replacement cost is for both Fuel cell stacks and what the mileage you can expect?
Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I'm seeing it doesn't look like the metals in the HFC are any less recyclable than a battery cell
@@benhillard919 Well since most of the rare earth metals in the fuel cell is used up during its use it would be hard to recycle it.
