  1. Yeah the volume is the issue that will never he solved. Sure 33k Kilawatts per 1KG sounds amazing until you realize that is 24 Liters give or take under SEVEN HUNDRED BAR. So now we have a tank that isn't only flammable, but a bomb as well. So 24 liters will get you 100 miles give or take or something around that. Great. I don't know about you, but I actually like my vehicle to have space outside of fuel. Maybe if we could triple that? Sure. Now we are talking. Liquid hydrogen is a joke. Yeah let me just cool that tempature down to around -240c. Easy Peazy! What is crazy is that a liter of water holds more hydrogen atoms then pure liquid hydrogen? I don't understand that. Just read that. Now if we could figure out a storage medium that can hold more hydrogen then liquid hydrogen, and separate it? That would be awesome!

  2. Yeah unless some super duper nano tech allows us to store it in a condensed medium. (As just in case people didn't know. Water holds more hydrogen per liter than liquid hydrogen which I find insane. ) So unless we get some miracle medium to store hydrogen comparable to the density of water? Then it is a no go. Hydrogen cars weigh more than EVs with way less space to get slightly better range. Think 50 to 100 miles more. Whoopty doo. Hydrogen is a pain to store. It is dangerous if not kept properly. It destroys the equipment. It requires cryogenic tempatures or absurd pressures. It loves to leak according to those who work with it. I simply don't see how people look at hydrogen, and think "ah yes. I would love my car to be part blimp. This totally will work". Let us not forget that we'd have to build an entirely new infrastructure. With new battery technology constantly improving year in, and out. Hydrogen makes no sense, and that ship has sailed. If we did this years ago it would be good. Not with battery tech being as it is in the near future. It will only ever be used for niche industries. Don't fund hydrogen. You'll be disappointed.

  3. Why do people insist on judging it by KG. Yeah one KG is like 24 liters of volume at 700 BAR! Liquid hydrogen isn't happening. It just makes sense that people think that is the future of consumer cars. One thing that is crazy to me is that a liter of water holds more hydrogen then liquid hydrogen! The fuck! Too bad we didn't have a cheap process to be able to separate hydrogen with a fuel cell from water, and then use it using some crazy technology!
