We see so many battery electric cars being purchased but very little of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. What are the reasons?
In: Technology
The only advantage hydrogen has over BEV is fast refueling time. So for use cases where it’s critical to minimize downtime (eg long distance truck hauling), then it can make sense. Or if weight is a big factor and you can just burn the hydrogen, like in aviation. Otherwise, BEV is just better. You can charge at home, it’s a lot more energy efficient (huge losses to create, distribute and contain hydrogen), the technology is much simpler and cheaper.
