I'm really shocked that other manufacturers haven't invested in more infrastructure. Toyota and Honda pushed hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for years, they could have easily accelerated adoption of the tech by investing in refueling infrastructure. Now all that money they invested in fuel cell cars looks to be wasted as they both are playing catchup with battery electric vehicles, mostly because of Tesla.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoLegacy automakers never thought they were going to have to build and sell EVs at scale until Tesla forced their hand (and also demonstrated to governments that it was time to schedule new combustion vehicle sales bans), hence why they didn't invest in their own charging networks (which cost Tesla over half a billion dollars and counting [1] [2]).

Some of you guys are seriously stuck in the 2010s. Hydrogen is coming a big way and the old talking points are outdated.

- Hypx 6y agoYou're stuck in the past. We're seeing an exponential growth in hydrogen stations.
