Battery cars are being disrupted by hydrogen cars. In a decade the shift will be almost entirely towards hydrogen and BEVs will be seen as obsolete.

- jacquesm 5y agoOh ok. Well thank you for making this prediction, that's got to be why out of all the companies that fielded Hydrogen cars all but two have now switched entirely to BEVs. We must have a different definition of disrupted.
- Hypx_ 5y agoIf you know the history of disruption, you'd know that very few companies survive them. "All but two" could the list of dead companies from this, not the survivors.
- jacquesm 5y agoI'm sure Elon is quaking in his boots. But hey, I've been wrong before so time will tell, I've bookmarked your comment.
- Hypx_ 5y agoHe's a fool to not realize the threat. Tesla is almost certain to collapse unless they start making hydrogen cars themselves.
- jacquesm 5y agoI'll be sure to let him know. Once again, thank you.
- Hypx_ 5y agoJust for added advice: Toyota also makes battery powered cars alongside their hydrogen cars. Tesla however does not make hydrogen powered cars at all. So without getting into details, it's clear that Toyota knows more about how each technology stack up against each other. So for Tesla to be right on this, it means that without having any knowledge of hydrogen cars they still know that it can't work, even over a company that knows something about both. It can be described as Toyota having both eyes open whereas Tesla is blind in one eye, but still claiming that the latter sees better.
- jacquesm 5y agoThank you.
- imtringued 5y agoMy current gasoline car has a 500km range. If I can get 400km range on an electric car then I will just pick the car with the cheapest "fuel" costs and that's not going to be hydrogen.
- Hypx_ 5y agoIt's going to be hydrogen.
