Honda thinks otherwise, and just rolled out a new model based on fuel cell tech this month iirc. The biggest issues have been lack of filling stations, and decreased trunk space. Hydrogen is similar in safety to lpg, and filled in a similar way.
- _ph_ 9y agoIf you look at the complexity of a fuel cell vehicle, you can easily see why car manufacturers like this technology :). Toyota, who did create the Mirai, recently launched an electric car program. Hydrogen is more complex to handle than lpg, which as the name says, is liquid at 5-10 atmospheres, while hydrogen is a gas and stored at 300 atmospheres pressure, the filling stations have to compress it to 700 atmospheres to fill the tank in reasonable time. This compression is a big factor in the energy overhead of hydrogen.
