What’s the range on hydrogen fuelled cars?
- hiatus 3y agoThe Mirai has a range of 502km. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Mirai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Mirai
- clouddrover 3y agoThe second generation Mirai's range is 647 km (402 mi) on the EPA test cycle. The Hyundai Nexo gets 570–612 km (354–380 mi) EPA range: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Nexo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Nexo

That said - my diesel car easily does 600-700 miles per 60litre tank
- eptcyka 3y agoThe refuel time is dependent on the pressure in the tank. There's an intermediate tank that's used to pressurize the hydrogen before it can be pumped into the car, and pressurizing this vessel can take a lot longer when the main tank is empty. I'd say that the refueling time is only as good as petrol in the best case scenario.
- polytely 3y agoit seems so incredibly complicated compared to EV's I can't really imagine a future where hydrogen will be a big part of vehicles
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoNot to mention the huge amount of energy it takes to compress or liquify a gas. Everyone ignores this when talking about hydrogen as fuel.
- _hypx 3y agoAll cars are complicated. Hydrogen cars have an advantage of being truly sustainable, something BEVs are not. So it safe to say that it is inevitable that cars will transition to hydrogen. Personal opinions like these are just a repeat of classic anti-progress statements like "airplanes will never happen" or "radio will never amount to anything."
