  1.  @lhamel7038  But terribly inefficient.

  2.  @outofthebox5441  Hydrogen will play a role in the future but not for passenger cars. It is simply not efficient enough and will never be. I live in a densely populated city and public charging works great.

  3.  @mrgurulittle7000  Due to the fact that they are efficient during use production emissions are compensated within a few years of driving.

  4. Not at all. Hydrogen is too inefficient, especially in a combustion engine.

  5. Lol

  6. The other way around

  7. It is not

  8. Much cleaner than anything else.

  9.  @mrgurulittle7000  Wrong. Hydrogen fuel cell cars need lithium, cobalt, platinum and nickel as well.
    2
  10.  @mrgurulittle7000  Lol, hydrogen cars require 3 times as much electricity.
    2
  11.  @mrgurulittle7000  Fuel cells don’t come falling from the sky either. Battery production emissions are quickly compensated. Hydrogen cars are inefficient every single day for the rest of their life.
    2
  12.  @mrgurulittle7000  The point is that batteries can be charged 100% renewably but fuel cell use will lead to some kind of toxic waste and reliance on China for metals AND requires 3 times as much energy, so we will need 3 times as many solar panels, wind turbines and power stations.

  13.  @mrgurulittle7000  You have no clue. EVs can spend months parked in cold weather. Losses over 1 day is completely negligible and absolutely incomparable to the losses in the whole hydrogen ecosystem. Again, there is a factor 3 difference.
    2
  14.  @mrgurulittle7000  Hydrogen cars are inefficient due to laws of physics. This will never change.

  15.  @mrgurulittle7000  Not at all.

  16.  @mrgurulittle7000  Both vehicles were highly efficient.

  17. Because it is, and will always be, very inefficient.

  18. Which 6 year old EV did you buy?
    2
  19. It is far more viable than hydrogen.
    2
  20.  @mrgurulittle7000  Incredibly inefficient
    2
  21.  @mrgurulittle7000  The problem is that you think that it is dirty.
    2
  22. Yup!
    2
  23. Haha exactly
    2
  24. Nobody needs hydrogen cars.

  25.  @outofthebox5441  There is no guarantee that fusion energy, if it ever gets to large scale production, will be cheap. So even with fusion energy it makes perfect sense to use batteries and not hydrogen.
    2
  26.  @outofthebox5441  Public chargers will be everywhere in the future. Yes, hydrogen makes sense for other applications. Not for passenger cars.
    2
  27.  @mrgurulittle7000  Not relevant as 95% of all charging is slow / overnight charging. Fast charging is only required for long trips.
    1
  28.  @mrgurulittle7000  Depends on where you live. If you don’t see them it will simply be a matter of time. In my country there are over 3300 fast charging locations and 8 hydrogen stations.

  30.  @mrgurulittle7000  yes, but not hydrogen

  31.  @mrgurulittle7000  Sheess I already explained to you why hydrogen is far worse than BEV and will always remain so. It is terrible ESPECIALLY in combustion engines.
    1
  32. Lol not at all.
    1
  33. Battery electric cars are far superior. Fortunately governments have also realised this.
    1
  34. Not simple at all.
    1
  35. Far worse
    1
  36.  @mrgurulittle7000  all of that still does not mean it is worse than fossil fuel powered cars. Countless research has proven you wrong. Total lifecycle emissions of an EV are always lower.
    1
  37.  @mrgurulittle7000  Of course it is. A vehicle that is a bit cleaner nowadays, is A LOT cleaner in 10 years. Every EV that is sold gets cleaner every year. Each fossil car that is sold is just as polluting in 10 years as it is today. Hybrid cars are powered by fossil fuels and therefore produce more emissions during their lifecycle than EVs. By the way: you do realize the fossil industry receives billions of taxpayer's money every year?
    1
  38.  @mrgurulittle7000  Not at all. Hydrogen consumes three times as much energy. EVs are the best solution to lower carbon emissions as fast as possible. Also hydrogen cars will be obsolete soon as current EVs are already capable of equal driving range requiring only 1/3rd of the energy.
    1
  39.  @a.jvalle8905  So you want to rely on hydrogen made from electricity?
    1
  40.  @mrgurulittle7000  I already explained to you that EVs are cleanER - and not 100% clean (nothing is). Yes, even when mainly fossil electricity is used. Read the research reports that are widely availabe. And again: hydrogen fuel cell cars consume three times as much electricity so will always remain more polluting. The process of manufacturing hydrogen cars also involves mining for platinum, cobalt, nickel and lithium.
    1
  41.  @mrgurulittle7000  Again: research and physics are clear: battery electric is the least polluting option. Hydrogen cars consume 3X more electricity and not ‘a bit’. If you like fast refueling, fine. But that is the one and only advantage of hydrogen cars (if you can find a station). And no, hybrid cars are not the cleanest solution.
    1
  42.  @mrgurulittle7000  It's about both. Physics proves that hydrogen is a bad idea because it requires many times more energy. So it is a bad choice to begin with when you want to lower CO2 emissions. Just like with electric heating: heat pumps are far more efficient than resistive heaters and therefore the preferred choice.
    1
  43.  @mrgurulittle7000  Yes they do lower CO2 enough. Also: Every EV that is sold now will produce less CO2 every year. Every hybrid and fossil car sold today is just as polluting in 10 years as it is today.
    1
  44.  @mrgurulittle7000  I already explained that life cycle emissions of EVs are lower (this means that they do last long enough to compensate for production emissions). To give you an idea: it takes about 4 years to breakeven when using average grid electricity. An EV easily lasts 10+ years. EV prices have been dropping like crazy over the last 2 years and continues to do so. Yes, public charging prices are volatile but so are gasoline prices.
    1
  45.  @mrgurulittle7000  Not at all. The batteries last just as long as the vehicle. You are referring to first generation EVs from 10 years ago.
    1
  46.  @mrgurulittle7000  Prices are dropping a lot, just follow the news.
    1
  47.  @mrgurulittle7000  It will be quite soon.
    1
  48.  @mrgurulittle7000  Prices have been dropping a lot over the past years and this will continue to do so. I do not claim anyone can afford one yet. But the difference is shrinking and shrinking.

  49.  @mrgurulittle7000  Of course they will.

  50. Yes they are

  51. Bob Lazar was a famous fraudster and his 'invention' has nothing to do with the technology seen in this video.

  52.  @lhamel7038  Always inefficient.

  53. 5 to 7 years is nothing. Even if it takes 2 decades it is still better than hydrogen.

  54. Why?

  55.  @mattrobinson5254  If hydrogen is used it will be used for industrial applications.

  56.  @mattrobinson5254  Agreed.

  57.  @alexbhagwan3082  I am sure you will eventually enjoy all the positive sides of driving electric vehicles.

  58. Even you will eventually own an EV.

  59. Not at all. Hydrogen cars are over already.
    1
  60. Yes they are
    1
  61. Because it is not really an issue.
    1
  62. Exactly
    1
  63. But hydrogen is terribly inefficient and therefore even less sustainable.

  64. LOL

  65. Nope

  69. Diesel 😂
    1
  70.  @sakispsinakis  Proposing diesel as a solution is funny
    1
  71.  @sakispsinakis  As you probably know, the whole point is that burning diesel creates loads of CO2 every kilometer you drive, during the whole lifespan of the car. Building an electric car also causes CO2 and the electricity to charge it as well, but the overal lifecycle emissions are far lower than a comparable gasoline or diesel car. There is LOTS of scientific proof EVs are less polluting.
    1
  72.  @sakispsinakis  I see what you mean but it also feels a bit exegarated. I assume you are talking about an Audi Q4 35? You owned one? Charging at home or down the street is obviously a must have when owning any EV. It will just be a matter of time if there are not enough public chargers around your house. Getting stuck on the motorway is not something to be worried of because you can run the heater for many hours because you are not idling like an internal combustion engine car would do. Anyway, all not valid reasons to propose a 'diesel hybrid' as a better solution than an EV.
    1
  73. Not at all. Synthetic fuels are absolutely terrible and hydrogen is almost as bad. Both are unbelievably inefficient due to laws of physics and this will never change. EVs have been efficient since day 1.

  74.  @robinoconnor1203  just simple physics

  75. You would need 3 times as many windturbines though 😂

  76.  @EdWeibe  Correct and they will always be

  77. Hydrogen will never make sense for passenger cars. It's simply too inefficient and will always remain so.
