  1. Care to explain? As hydrogen cars are still a flop.

  2. Cool, what potential does hydrogen have? Like, give actual example.

  3. Hydrogen cars have been around for quite some time now, those had their chance to become relevant, it's too late now due to enormous increase in BEV's, so yes, Hydrogen cars flopped.

  4.  @bh.76  Each time manufacturers tried to bring in hydrogen cars and offer those to buyers it failed. One of the main drawbacks is lack of refueling stations which will remain huge issue due to complexity and cost to make one. It's a lot more complicated and alot more expensive thing to build, not even talking about transportation of hydrogen from plant to station and its storage in general. BEV's main draw back is its cost, which mainly being determined by battery itself, but, battery cost is dropping down rapidly, its performance is increasing with each year, station count is increasing exponentially, not even to mention that you can charge your BEV at your home from basic wall socket. What is my point is that transition to BEV's is allot simpler, faster and cheaper in comparison to hydrogen cars, so Hydrogen cars did flopped. For comparison, as of now we have over 2 million BEV charging stations worldwide, while there are only like 1000 of hydrogen stations in entire world...

  5. How long does your car usually last? 5? 10 years? And do you really want to account everything? Like oil spills too? Because that wont really help your case, isint it?

  6.  @colinboertje3305  Good for you, in 15 years your will be able to buy used electrical car. With something like Tesla model Y you have structural battery which can be easily removed and replaced with new one if needed. But you wont need to do that for cars life time, unless you are some hard core driver who wants to hit one million mile range or something. Average cost to repair ICE car is higher than cost to repair electrical one.

  7. Art Diary Please fact check before you express your opinion about something.

  8. That would be the case if we didn't had BEV's taking majority of the car market at the moment.

  9. it's not free energy...

  10. It can, but its more efficient to convert hydrogen into electricity than to use it as explosive fuel.

  11. There are BEV's with 500 mile range, duno why you would ever need anything more than that. BEV can be charged in like half an hour, it all depends on charger. Charging car at home from wall socket could take few hours, but that can be easily done over night while you sleep, so no issues there. Chargers are convenience for you and it will be more expensive as its not located at your house and usually can charge your car exponentially faster than you could ever do at your home, so no idea why are you surprised that its more expensive. Infrastructure is growing and its exponentially bigger one. There are under 1000 hydrogen refueling stations in entire world, while there are over 3 000 000 bev dedicated charging stations, so if you think that BEV's lack infrastructure, then hydrogen cars have non existing one. Battery production is expensive, this is why initial BEV price usually will be higher than ICE car, nothing surprising with that. There are Tesla cars made in like 2012 which are still on the road, ironically due to how long lasting BEV batteries actually ended up we don't have enough of those to be recycled and for bigger recycling plants to be built yet, as there isint a real need. And you can recycle majority of the battery and reuse materials for new one. Government can tax hydrogen, because 100% of hydrogen needs to be produced... Differently than BEV's which can be charged from basic solar panels, you would need expensive hydrogen equipment to produce it and to actually pump it to your hydrogen car tanks which might require up to 10 000 psi pressure to do so, which means that you would need expensive pressure pumps which could actually handle pressures like that. Hydrogen is the most abundant element, but there is ZERO of it in a pure form on earth. Biggest supply of it could be from water, but that need crap ton of energy to be extracted from it. If you think that government is forcing you to buy BEV's, then why are you not buying hydrogen car? Support your ideas here, promote hydrogen by actually buying one, be the one who pushes hydrogen cars forwards!

  12. Och yea, its less flamable, it only vaporizes you in case you puncture that 10 000psi tank...
    1
  13. You recycle it and reuse materials to make new one. Actual studies have been done and it was shown that BEV's create slightly less pollution from end to end than Hydrogen cars do. This includes everything, from material mining to car's disposal/recycling.

  14. Elon never said that Tesla will have Hydrogen cars... Congrats, you have been duped. Fact check before you engage in conversations like that. Hydrogen cars will not become a thing, it had its chances, its too late now. And you are not driving on water, you are driving on Hydrogen... Learn the difference here.

  15. Its like saying "Make your own petroleum" while you could do it technically speaking, issue is that it would cost you arm and leg to do it, so this is why no one does it. Same thing with hydrogen, it involves more steps than just sticking 2 electrodes into cup of water.

  16. Put away your tin foil hat... Multi billion companies are attempting to make hydrogen cars, you can buy one today if you really want, so clearly your comment makes zero sense here.

  17.  @Cole_Cross  Then go and buy hydrogen car and support its adoption... Multiple car companies tried to push hydrogen cars, some even offer you 15k on the fuel, just go and buy. But thing is, no one actually wants them and those who tried just sells them as quick as possible. Hydrogen car's simply do not work, those ONLY sound cool in news papers with titles as "Car runs on water" and that's that. It will cost you like 150 bucks to fill up 350 mile range tank. Basically you will be paying 40 cents per mile. This is just not viable option as alternative and its ONLY taking into consideration hydrogen price and not looking into mile long list of other issues surrounding this entire thing. Last year best selling car in the world was Tesla Model Y, fully electric. Electric cars are more expensive for its initial price, but it can and will be cheaper if you drive a lot with it, because electricity price is relatively tiny, maintenance basically non existing. This is why BEV taking over while hydrogen cars never had a chance.

  18.  @Cole_Cross  Check your local hydrogen refueling stations and their prices... By the way, all hydrogen tanks have expiration dates printed on them, which is around 5-8 years, goodluck replacing those. Similar thing with fuel cell itself.
    1
  19.  @Cole_Cross  Same price? Which would be what? Either you have unusually low hydrogen prices or unusually high gas prices.
    1
  20.  @Cole_Cross  Its only in California where you have hydrogen stations which can provide you with some options, check any other state and it will make it crystal clear that its not viable option for anyone. Issue is with how expensive it is to build one and how much money you have to put into its maintenance. Hint: its a crap ton of money. This is why there are under 1000 hydrogen stations in entire world and those numbers barely going up even with government support.
    1
  21.  @Cole_Cross  5.5-6.5 bucks for a KG of hydrogen? Which station is that exactly? Because of my knowledge hydrogen prices are around 36 bucks per KG

  22. You do know you can just reply to my comment directly? No idea how me being alive in 1975 would change anything here. I can be 5 year old or 95, makes zero difference here. Ford can buy whatever they want, doesn't really make that patent actually valuable.

  23. You can recycle battery to like 92% each time, so its not like entire battery will be disposed, it will be reused.

  24. @yuki1496ny Did you just got scammed?
    1
  25.  @yuki1496ny  I mean that there are tons of fake videos promising magical solutions, doesn't make those true. Have you ever fact checked your claim here? No? Why not?
    1
  26.  @yuki1496ny  What's the technology called or whats the name of the video?
    1
  27.  @yuki1496ny  So it's just a tv show? Not actual report by actual Toyota? So will ask again: have you fact checked those claims? No? Why not?

  28.  @yuki1496ny  Solid-state batteries are that... Batteries... Not hydrogen storage cube thing you mentioned originally...
    1
  29.  @yuki1496ny  In your video at 0:20 if this is Toyota R&D department then they are in big trouble... And its only a claim, not actual proof that Toyota is even related to this video or its contents. We had videos from respectful (atleast at that time) sources that there is a car which runs on pure water... That magical cube might produce small amounts of hydrogen, but its useless, first of all, you will need to put it into some sort of container, then you will need to collect hydrogen while separating oxygen and then pressurize it and put it into tank... And after that you will need to take out remains of that cube, clean everything and repeat same meaningless task. No one in their right mind would think that this is a good solution, its vaporware.

  30.  @yuki1496ny  What link? Youtube is picky when it comes to any links in comment section, you you will have trouble posting anything if it contains any url. Giving exact name of video and channels name is the best option to avoid auto filtering.

  31. Ok.

  32. You need extreme pressures, you need to keep it cool and due to the fact that its Hydrogen (tiny molecule) it leaks from basically any tank. Its not as easy as you might think. Hydrogen will never become main stream, it might get its uses in areas where energy density is more important than efficiency and price, but regular cars will never be the ones.
    1
  33. Because you fell for a silly scam. There is no such thing as electrolysis inside the car which would make any practical sense. You need to put in more energy than you will get back out of that process, basically you need 2 kg hydrogen to make 1kg of hydrogen. This is besides the point that you can't use generic engine with hydrogen without melting it over the time.

  34.  @e.a.342  Nuclear waste is "unsolved" because nuclear waste emits particles which can't be contained by simple sealed container, you need to put bunch of heavy material to prevent if from leaking out. This is not the case with battery materials, while those could be toxic to environment, but same thing applies to most elements out there, anything in more concentrated quantities isn't good to environment. We simply need more recycling plants and improve recycling methods, which should come natural as more BEV's gets into circulation and more BEV's starts to become outdated. We are still at the start of BEV's batteries becoming unusable on bigger numbers as BEV's became bigger thing in last decade, so not many to be recycled at the moment. You basically have 10 year delay from BEV production to it being recycled, or even more. We will see how it goes in next few years.

  35. " in 10 years everybody would figure out how to make fuel for free" ? You mean like using solar panels to charge BEV's, which already being done by people?
    1
  36. That's cool and all, but some people actually live in places where that heat from engine isn't being used to heat their cabin but additional load on engine being added to drive generator which could drive AC in their cars. And there is new invention, some call it "electric heater"

  37. First of all, water isint free. Second, hydrogen isint free. Third, oil companies killed it. Fourth, it has more draw back than EV's. Should I go on or is this enough?
    1
  38. Combustion system are even more stupid... HICE engine vs Hydrogen fuel cell is TWICE as inefficient, so take math from this video for hydrogen engine and double it. Its the worse option for anything. HICE engines are only a thing just because you can potentially convert existing ICE engines and those produce that engine sound, but that's it, its extremely inefficient
    1
  39. Silent Reviews But like... Why? Why not invest this money into EV's instead? Why waste money on worst option when there is better one?
    1
  40.  @polska905  I do have a clue, you simply have no clue why hydrogen cars don't need lizard people intervention for it to not become anything more than someones expensive hobby. You don't need to kill something what isn't alive.

  41. Yet BEV's are taking off anyways, so it doesn't look like big oil can stop a good product.

  42. First hydrogen fuel cell car was made in 1966, so its not that new of a technology, but it hardly improved over the years due to basic limitations of the laws of physics. Hydrogen cars are basically at their peak performance, there might be few % improvements made over the years, but nothing substantial. And when you have better alternatives like BEV's then why would anyone invest billions into technology which already losing to it?

  43.  @FriedChkn4Eva  BEV - battery electric vehicle And no idea how my first sentences proved you right here. Hydrogen technology hardy improved, not because no one tried, but because there isn't much to improve anymore, just like ICE cars hardly improved in last few decades, those reached peak performance/efficiency rates quite some time ago, while BEV's just keep's improving without any clear sign of limitations ahead.

  44.  @FriedChkn4Eva  "let alone the common American family household being able to afford a car like that" Why not? Lithium battery price dropped 5.5 times since 2000's... Lithium battery capacity doubled since 2000's. So on what basis you could say that something will not be accessible for regular people? Every single new technology will be expensive one, but it always goes down in price and up in quality. Just check prices of first flat screens... You could have bought a house for one, even tho its quality was shit in comparison to what you can get for 100 bucks in local home depo. "Id like to see some road tests and cross country driving personally before i shell out over 100k for a electric supercar??" Why? Like why do you need electric supercar? And there are plenty of videos with people doing cross America trips in BEV's, in particular by using Tesla cars. "All the Teslas just mostly look like they’re great… for driving around the city" Because you need more than 350 miles of range to go outside the city?... Like, what reason would there be to not be able to drive Teslas outside cities? "I do think a happy medium is HYBRID" Hybrids' are the worse, you will have 1.5 cars in one, which would be 1.5 higher maintenance costs and 1.5 times higher chance for something to go wrong. "as the way to go if they wanna keep the petrol users happy and still keep a clean environment" How the hell is petroleum car keeps environment clean?... Entire point about BEV's is to have sustainable and cleaner solution here, if you have bunch of hybrids and everyone uses the petroleum portion, then what's the point? "stuck somewhere in the wilderness or anywhere where its hard to get help, you can’t start the car in all electric" You can charge it... You know... "sources like Lithium are not really in abundance and when there is a shortage, that causes problems in the market." And there are more than one battery technology and more are being invented. And its not like we have infinite amount of oil either... Its not a question if we will need to switch from petroleum to something sustainable, it's only question "When?" and sooner we do it better it will be for environment and for us.

  45. Well as Hydrogen cars never been alive to begin with, that would mean that no one killed it...

  46. Europe focusing on hydrogen? I live in europe and this is first time I heard it... Hydrogen cars in europe are as popular as everywhere else: not.

  47. People said same thing about horses... Goodluck with that.

  48. Energy density is not a part of efficiency... Entire talk was about how much energy you will need from end to end to drive same amount of distance... ICE cars are the worst ones, then Hydrogen and then BEV's.
    1
  49.  @therealjohnsquad  You still mixing energy density with efficiency here. If you want to talk that ICE cars are more efficient in a sense that those can carry more energy and drive longer, then yea, you will have a point here, but its not efficiency, it's just energy density. Most of that energy in ICE cars is being converted into heat. When it comes from end to end and how much energy you will use to drive X distance BEV's will win against ICE and Hydrogen cars because BEV's directly stores and uses energy with efficient means of energy transportation from the plant which produces it to car itself.

  50. If you have abundance of energy to produce Hydrogen.
