  1. You forgot about efficiency.

  2. Not at all.

  3. Very inefficient.

  4.  @muckman5509  We would only need a fraction of nuclear energy to power battery electric vehicles.

  5.  @muckman5509  Nobody forgets about that. Battery electric is still far more efficient, despite the losses in electricity generation.

  6.  @muckman5509  It is that simple. It has been calculated over and over. Battery electric always wins when it comes to energy efficiency.

  7.  @muckman5509  Energy = energy. Battery electric is about 4 times more efficient than eFuels.

  8. Lol so you thought that electrolysers, fuel cells and batteries for hydrogen cars do not require mining?

  9. Lol fast charging does not take an hour. Hydrogen is dumb.

  10.  @miguellopez3392  Exactly.

  11.  @scrubwasher4452  Continuous production and combustion of fossil fuels is far worse than the production of any metal.

  12. Hydrogen is incredibly inefficient. Batteries are far better and yes, they can be recycled.

  13.  @Danster82  Haha you are betting against physics.

  14. You mean storage in the form of hydrogen?

  15. That does not prove anything.

  16.  @vonabod4259  Battery technology is far easier to implement anywhere in the world than hydrogen.

  17. Just use them to charge electric cars.

  18.  @mtjoeng  Yeah and that is much easier than creating hydrogen infrastructure. Improving the grid is a natural process that has always been going on and we need it for other applications as well like heating and cooling of buildings.

  19. He is right. It is just a matter of basic physics.
    1
  20.  @headcrab4090  It will always remain far less efficient.

  21. Of course, but not for road vehicles. There are countless industrial applications in which fossil sourced hydrogen has been playing a vital role for decades.

  22. Bye eFuel.

  23.  @ben_6199  yup

  24. It will be 99% of the story.

  25. LOL

  26. Lol it’s not

  27. Yeah it’s pretty nice.

  28. Hydrogen cars do not make any sense from a scientific point of view. That is the whole point.
    1
  29. If hydrogen was a great idea, Tesla’s would use it from day one.

  30. Hydrogen is not the answer.
    1
  31. Hydrogen is not a great option. That is the whole point.

  32. Possibly, but in the near future trucks will be battery electric too. Musk knows what to focus on. Hydrogen would be a massive waste of energy and money.

  33. Fuel cells require far more energy.

  34.  @NisseOhlsen  There are no signs of such break-through invention at all.
