Well the concept hasn’t received the same amount of government investment or subsidies or private capital either. So I think it’s unfair to compare it to the more mature state of battery electric vehicles. Infrastructure could be built at cost, hydrogen production could be enabled by nuclear energy sources, etc. I think it is too early to write it off, especially because it does come with advantages over batteries like faster refueling.


No it hasn’t, because it’s not viable.

The first hydrogen car was built in the 1800s. There is nothing ‘early’ about this concept.


Are you saying that the effort over that time period and the funding is comparable to battery tech? A lot of things start off looking not viable.
