Fuel Cell EVs seems much more of a tough nut to crack and maybe it’s hard to replace BEVs but only co-exist with it. Quite a number of things go against Green Hydrogen be it manufacturing, liquifying it, transporting, less efficiency, highly flammable . Also setting up the fuelling stations cost much more than an an EV charging station. This seems much more of an logistical and for the foreseeable future economical nightmare too. Green Ammonia industry is still in nascent stages to be called the carrier for hydrogen.
Till the time technological and infrastructural developments happen in (GH2) we may see next gen BEVs stepping up their game which they are already doing with technological improvements
Reading a few research reports , it seemed as if a good alternative for heavy vehicles which can’t be electrified because to have a fuel cell system you need a certain minimum amount of components, and the size is generally the same. But this article throws some light on that as well.
Though agree with the part of coal being the source of electricity in BEVs, perhaps now hydrogen seemingly has too many limitations to replace it . Even if we start today ,the infra required for distributing and making hydrogen would take 2-3 decades. Quite confused over the hype of hydrogen on road transport.(especially light vehicles)
