Hydrogen powered? It seems some people have a learning disability to think that is the solution…. Others have already comments on why…. Besides the cost of the hydrogen and short range of the cars make them impractical.
"What I really want is a car with totally new, untried technology that is expensive to maintain, probably unreliable, and will cost me about 30% more than a normal car." Said nobody.... EVER!
Nothing but wishful thinking These companies quality. Control and reliability had collapsed in the past few yrs now they are talking more complicated products that they Don't understand never mind produce and apply correctly with some durability and reliability
The discovery of oil peaked in 1964. Since then, discoveries have declined while consumption has increased. Consumption now exceeds new discoveries. Unsustainable.
In the mid 1800s, when the Washington Monument was built, aluminium was more expensive than silver, which is why it was used as a 'precious metal' to top out the monument. Hydrogen is still, obviously, work-in-progress but JCB in the UK has already committed to hydrogen powered on-site hydrogen re-fueled big engineering machinery ...
There is no solution for how to produce, store and provide fueling stations for hydrogen. Until that happens, a hydrogen combustion engine or fuel cell vehicle are not practical. So, this won't destroy the EV industry any time soon. This is a current nothing burger
Most of the so-called 'problems' with EVs have been resolved for quite a few years now. Hydrogen has a future, but I suspect that it's on the commercial end of things. Cars will be driven by electric motors that'll be cheaper, easier to maintain, cleaner, and more durable than any ICE product.
The “ so called problems” with battery cars have not and will not be resolved, batteries per kilogram store a tiny fraction of energy compared to hydrocarbon fuels. Electric motors use energy much more efficiently than a combustion engine but sadly for evangelists that doesn’t get close to balancing the energy storage differential.
@@iancarrington1967 I don't really understand what any of that means. So I have to ask, why would it stop people buying EVs? I suspect that the Evangelists you write of are merely a small fraction of owners and potential owners. Most people just want cars that are cheaper to own and run. That's why 80% of Norwegian car buyers are now buying EVs. Car companies wnat cars that are cheaper to assemble. That's (presumably) why Chinese automakers are launching their largest ever assault on the European and Asian markets with EVs and are well on their way to eclipsing US and European companies in those markets.
CO2 is not pollution, it is the gas of life. There is no climate crisis.
Wishful thinking. You also believe the Earth is is flat
@@filledwithvariousknowledge2747 Wake up and educate yourself.
And which car company/oil company do you work for?
@@IohnSmith-d3z You lose the argument when you try and smear the commentator rather than address the comment.

the we are going to run out of oil of the early 70's and no one went to jail and to this day they lie to us

😂 bs
Sounds American....Asians already building the hydrogen storage and manufacturing tech😂
