What factors led to shift away from pursuing hydrogen-powered cars in favor of electric vehicles?
In: Other
Hydrogen is stupid. Low energy density, practically no availability, difficult to manufacture, difficult to transport, difficult to keep contained. Basically without a switch to all nuclear energy it isn’t a feasible source of fuel. It’s much better/easier to just make batteries and use the electricity that would otherwise be used to make the hydrogen just to charge those batteries.
Edit: I used to be a proponent of Hydrogen engines until battery technology caught up
