I don't get why going the combustion way when fuel cells is simple and works well enough (compared to combustion engines).
In my city the buses are electric and some have an hydrogen fuel cell.

- numpad0 3y agoHydrogen fuel cell require its own production line. Hydrogen-converted ICE is apparently much easier to demo.
- Kuinox 3y agoWhat do you mean by that ?
- mauvehaus 3y agoI'm guessing that the GP means that every automaker except for the ev-only ones has the infrastructure, supply chain, tooling, and know how to build reciprocating piston engines and the associated drive systems. None of which is applicable to a fuel cell vehicle.
- ummonk 3y agoOne advantage I’ve seen talked about for the hydrogen ICE as a transitional engine is that it doesn’t require the same level of hydrogen purity as a fuel cell does.
