A claim backed up by nothing. In fact, no hydrogen tank is allowed to leak that fast by regulation. Something you can easily verify: https://newsletters.inficon.com/AUTOTEST/April2020/LeakTestingOfHydrogenTanks.html https://newsletters.inficon.com/AUTOTEST/April2020/LeakTesti...
You can do the math and realize that at 8 * 10⁻³ mbar * L/s, the maximum leakage rate, it will take a tank of 30L and 700 bar about 80 years to leak away:
700 bar * 30 L / (0.008 millibar * L/s) = 83.1830072 years
That's the danger of swallowing random BEV propaganda from some propagandist. Those people are liars and are know for making shit up. In reality, this is not an issue.
