- panick21_ 3y agoPeople keep saying that, but don't actually understand what's happening. Tesla build charging station. They use the existing electricity network that is already in place. That is 100-1000x cheaper then bootstrapping a hydrogen charging network. A single Hydrogen fuel station for 1 car is gone cost more then a whole supercharging station. Its incredibly safety critical. And that doesn't even account for the much, much higher maintenance cost. And then you have to actually have infrastructure to supply the hydrogen. And once you do all of that, you have not even solved the carbon problem either. No company, not Toyota will do that. Toyota has no interest in doing that.

There are only proof of concept stations scattered around California.
