Hydrogen is absolutely NOT safer than gasoline. This is a ridiculous claim. For starters, it’s an explosive gas rather than a flammable liquid.

- _hypx 3y agoIt is much lighter than air. Any hydrogen leaks will float away a lot faster than gasoline.
- allmadhare 3y agoThe hydrogen cells in production and used in motorsport are literally bulletproof. The type of accident that results in your tank exploding would have to be so severe you would be dead before the gas had time to ignite.
- _aavaa_ 3y agoWhether the tank is bulletproof is irrelevant. Again, whether or not your dead doesn’t change the fact that the tank will explode, not just burn. The system as a whole is not leak-proof. All you need is a leak in a contained area, like a garage.
