Hydrogen Powered ICE the future?
#7
I live in LA and I've seen quite a few Mirai's on the road. A Chevron around the corner spent who knows how much $$ installing a H2 pump. I bet they got money from the state / gov't to do it. I never see anyone using it. Hydrogen was a good idea, but the issues with production, transportation and storage have not gone away while batteries have gotten significantly better. EVs though still do have to contend with their environmental impacts to produce as well. I think the real driver in terms of environmental friendliness is - how long will they be in use and how much pollutants will they produce to operate? While EVs might have a steeper cost to produce, their longevity and potential for zero-emissions operations (provided the source of your power is clean and renewable) makes them win out. I doubt many H2 vehicles will see more than 10 years of service life.
