The simplest counter argument is that it’s just cheaper to go with hydrogen. People have created this narrative where “efficiency = cost” when in reality it’s more expensive to go that far in efficiency.
- thehappypm 5y agoIn what way is hydrogen cheaper?
- Hypx_ 5y agoIt's cheaper overall since you don't need to worry about a heavy battery. This is already the case for larger vehicles: https://cafcp.org/sites/default/files/07-24-2020-Foothill-ZEB-Update-to-Board.pdf https://cafcp.org/sites/default/files/07-24-2020-Foothill-ZE... This likely to be true for more types of vehicles as hydrogen gets cheaper.
- thehappypm 5y agoSure, but you need to carry a fuel cell or ICE, and a hydrogen tank full of hydrogen. I don't think hydrogen based cars will be fundamentally lighter than battery powered ones.
