Hi guys! Saw this article on BMW saying, hydrogen is the next best thing – from electric cars.
Can anyone ova here, explain in a nutshell how hydrogen cars work? How it’s stored? How it’s made / refined heard its (h2o something)?
The safety of it, in case of an accident?
The transportation of the liquid?
Also, can hydrogen cars accelerate as quick as the Tesla’s? 😯
Thanks!

Not a direct response but relating to the viability of using hydrogen power for personal automobiles, I will defer to [Engineering Explained’s video on the subject](https://youtu.be/AouW9_jyZck?si=ygtvSFA5kTRj8MvO). Hydrogen is nice an all because no batteries and recharging right? Except to make hydrogen energy-dense enough to actually be viable for traveling any distance, you’re either taking up the entire interior space of the car, or effectively building a bomb under your rear seats.
Edit: yes I know this isn’t a video about the traditional hydrogen vehicles OP is talking about, but IIRC this is the one where he talks about the physics of storing hydrogen, which was my point
