    I know about 7y ago everyone was salivating at the idea of hydrogen powered vehicles.

    I’ll be very interested to see how well it works in practice…

      with refill stations every 50-100Km, this could work extremely well. the current mirai has 700Km of range. you could even power standard combustion engines with very little modification. mike copeland built 2 muscle cars that run perfectly on hydrogen.

        The us has 57 hydrogen fueling stations. By contrast, there are 59,340 public electric charging stations in the us.

        If there were stations you could drive a hydrogen car. But there just aren’t. And there doesn’t seem to be anyone planning to build tens of thousands of these stations any time soon.
