Is storage the primary concern with hydrogen?
- joatmon-snoo 4y agoDistribution is also a big issue now: EV chargers have a much bigger ecosystem around them than hydrogen fuel stations.
- flurie 4y agoMy understanding is that hydrogen has a much brighter future in commercial vehicles where fueling station logistics can be much more deliberately planned. I know Toyota does commercial vehicle sales, but I don't know what their hydrogen fuel cell commercial fleet development looks like.

Many people who own a Toyota Mirai (hydrogen) refill it at their Toyota dealership (far less convenient than the electrical grid) and are limited to around 80% fuel capacity (since you need 10,000 PSI to fully fill the tanks).
