What factors led to shift away from pursuing hydrogen-powered cars in favor of electric vehicles?
In: Other
All industrialized countries have power grids throughout the country, which means it’s not outrageously difficult to build charging stations for electric cars.
Hydrogen vehicles need hydrogen fuel cells, which require special hydrogen refueling stations that cost many millions of dollars to build. To make hydrogen work, we’d need to build many hydrogen plants, and fleets of special trucks to transport it.
In my opinion, hydrogen power could work well for commercial aviation and cargo shipping, since you could have a modest number of large refueling stations at airports and seaports, instead of trying to build a huge number of small stations for personal cars.
