There are good use cases for both technologies.
For smaller, lighter vehicles in warmer climates, lithium batteries make a lot of sense.
For heavy, long haul trucks that require minimal refueling, hydrogen fuel cell makes a lot of sense.
You need to build out the infrastructure for both.
- flkenosad 3y agoFinally, not an either/or perspective.
- theshrike79 3y agoThe difference here is that long haul infrastructure needs a H2 station every 200 maybe 300 kilometers. For personal vehicles we need orders of magnitude more, because refuelling a H2 vehicle is even slower than liquid fuels.
- beefandcheese 3y agoIts mostly the infrasctructure thats the problem though. Its complex, expensive and overall just less efficient than full EV. Ageing wheels has an entertaining vid of the Toyota Mirai where he discusses the pros and cons of hydrogen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtZQLUtckS4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtZQLUtckS4
