========================
Hydrogen fuel cell technology was touted as the energy of the future in the 60’s and 70’s after NASA used fuel cells to power their spacecraft. But with improvements in battery technology and electric cars surging in popularity, did hydrogen miss its opportunity? Or is there still a place for fuel cell technology?

If you drive an EV 80 miles a day, 5 days a week. How much would your electric bill go up?

You can run a hydrogen, oxygen mix right into the carburetor. Would have liked to see this compared a little more.

We'll never see joe arguing so hard for a tesla ever again 😂 and i bet that he has no idea why that is

Him- “Are you turned on right now?”
Her- “What?”
Him- “What?”
Funny stuff! Well done!

Hydrogen car has failed, please try to find a hydrogen pump station. Refueling is five times more expensive.

what about home fueling? I don’t see why an electrolysis and compressor unit for home. Fueling of your hydrogen car couldn’t be marketed for a very reasonable price.

Interesting breakdown! This makes me think fuel cells could be a good option for people who can't justify an EV because they can't charge at home. The big question for me is whether it's feasible to adapt gasoline infrastructure to hydrogen. It's notoriously hard to contain hydrogen, because it is buoyant and smol. Fuel for thought, though. (Ehehheh)

Being "smooth" is overrated. Be interesting and NOT a creep.

Another thing that needs to be factored but gets ignored almost everytime is the fact that most ev owners also get solar installed on site, which not only reduces the operational costs further….but also attacks the core of the argument "ohhhh but the electricity going into your clean ev is coming from coal". Well i know mine aint. My EV runs on solar.

Wouldn't it be possible to have a mini hydrogen plant in your garage? Running on solar? Why am I the only one to think of this?

I find no appeal in anything but gasoline powered cars. I would rather develop mass transportation to a high level and use that, than drive an EV or fuel cell. Driving has become more passive instead of active, I'd rather ride a bus then.

Yes, I think that evs could be a good idea. But my problem is the battery cells. U have to keep in mind that ev cells only last at max 3-5 years. The longer they sit unused the worse the charge gets, plus they break down faster the more u use a quick charge(or when they hit 0-5% to a 100%). The best comparison is using a rechargeable battery in a flashlight and letting it run completely dead. Charge it to 100% and you'll see the difference from a charge to a quick charge.

People complain ev just won't have gas range,
and ev batteries are susceptible to fail in extreme heat areas and extreme cold areas, ev are 2wd and preference 4wd or awd driving on snow rain ice off-road. And so theres low faith in 2wd.
Not enough hydrogen infrastructure, wary of hydrogen in freezing winters, also 4wd, awd preference over 2wd.
Finally those that dont like steer by wire steering, let alone abs, or fsd.
There's just going to be these people and let them be, eventually gas production will stop.

Yaaaaaaa
Peak oil was disproved decades ago.
And an incredible amount of carbon (much more than other vehicles produce) is created just mining the rare earth minerals needed for rare earth minerals required for EV vehicles.
But
We'll just ignore all of that because you mean well.

But…. Your electricity is produced by burning coal. Don’t tell us to ignore that fact. You are better than this Joe. Don’t ignore facts to make yourself feel better. Common!

The storage issue is also a problem for hydrogen vehicles.
Hydrogen must be stored at high pressure or else its volume is impractical. You need a very strong vessel to contain the high pressures required. Currently, these can only be made of metal alloys, which are very heavy. The added weight of the storage tank reduces the range and efficiency of the vehicle.
