if hydrogen is feasible in mass scale, trust me someone in Asia would already make it
- jimnotgym 2y ago> if hydrogen is feasible in mass scale, trust me someone in Asia would already make it That is a ridiculous proposition. Electric vehicles themselves were being pushed hard around the world before China saw the way the wind was blowing and overtook it.
- tonyhart7 2y ago"That is a ridiculous proposition. Electric vehicles themselves were being pushed hard around the world before China" I never said they are first, I said they lead at the EV industry and usage, the amount of resource and how people use EV is gargantuan even compared to the west
- xbmcuser 2y agoI think a lot of people miss the fact that China did not get to electric out of the blue it invested heavily in all these techs Hydrogen, Nuclear, Wind, Solar and batteries the cheapest and easiest to scale turned out to be Solar, Wind and then batteries. Even today China is still building more hydrogen and nuclear plants than most of the world combined but those technologies have not scaled or gotten cheaper at the same rate as solar, wind and batteries so are not growing where as solar and wind are. China is close to reaching the point where it could start replacing its coal electricity with solar, wind and battery as it is cheaper.
- wordofx 2y agoThat must be why China is building so much nuclear power.
- VBprogrammer 2y agoThere really is no accounting for China. They are building everything at an incredible rate, solar, wind, nuclear and coal power!

- pfdietz 2y agoThey are building far more renewables than nuclear.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoMost of China’s solar and wind capacity is in its empty west where its people aren’t. They have a bit of transmission, but clearly there is a limit. Western cities like Lanzhou have really cleaned up though as a result. They are limited in how many people can live near renewable sources by water availability.
- im3w1l 2y agoToyota bet big on hydrogen.
- VBprogrammer 2y agoBet in the past tense? It seems they are moving further away from that position. There are also some domestic market issues for Toyota - Japan having the lowest voltage mains electricity in the world for example.
- m4rtink 2y agoIsn't it the same as in US ? Eq. ~120V.
- cbmuser 2y agoMost EVs sold in China are hybrids and not BEVs. Hence they call them NEV = New Energy Vehicle.
