Hydrogen fuel cell cars creep up slowly on electrics

>Will hydrogen fuel cell cars soon overtake electrics?
no.
1: the infrastructure isn't there. You can only get the stuff in California
2: hydrogren fuel is wildly expensive
3: The actual range of a hydrogen fuel cell car isn't all that different from that of an electric car

I want hydrogen to succeed. Don't get me wrong.
They've been telling us since the 80's that hydrogen fuel cell cars are only 10 years away. Well 30 years later and they still aren't practical enough. Give it another 40 to 50 years. Then MAYBE Hydrogen will be as good as electric. Until then, Electric cars are the alternative fuel car of TODAY.

They can't even handle the short distances in a warehouse. Hydrogen is a meme. Most places that want to use it don't even have the water or clean energy (nuclear is not clean) to produce Hydrogen which is even more fucking retarded.

Horrible arguments

1: the infrastructure isn't there. You can only get the stuff in California
It wouldn't be hard to adapt gas stations, and it's MUCH easier than adapting them as solar battery swap stations or whatever those faggots were working on
2: hydrogren fuel is wildly expensive
Duhhhh, so is everything before its produced at scale. It get's cheaper every week once it starts being worked on. Solar used to be retarded expensive.
3: The actual range of a hydrogen fuel cell car isn't all that different from that of an electric car

Completely not true. AND you can fill hydrogen in a few seconds at a pump, unlike solar. Hondas first attempt for almost 400 miles on a tank. Then..... you just fill up the tank... like a fucking car.


And as someone who is old, they absolutely haven't been telling us hydrogen cars are "10 years away" since the 80's. The technology has merely been bandied about.

The alternative fuel car of today and tomorrow runs off ethanol/methanol

Battery tech isn't there yet and I doubt it will ever be

People will always bring up the Hindenburg no matter how good the technology gets. Sitting on 15 000psi of flammable gas is too scary for most people.

but gasoline explodes too. why would they be more scared of hydrogen?

Only if dumb celebs buy them somehow thinking they're saving the planet in some way

I'll pass on there being several ticking time bomb cars on the road just waiting for a moderate to severe impact to make a giant flame and shrapnel bomb. At least when gas burns it just burns up the car and a few feet around it for half an hour with a chance of a mushroom cloud.

Technological dead end.

Not to mention how fucking retarded people are with driving and maintenance. Just wait for the first recall for some random bolt puncturing the tank during low speed Impacts and hydrogens will die faster than electrics when gm introduced the ev1.

Jp8 fuel cells would be better since you wouldn't have to pressurize the fuel to keep it a liquid, but I don't know if those work well enough yet.
