Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles

[Rocket]

There is only one Hydrogen fill station in Michigan last I looked, and you'll need to be a Ford engineer to access it.

Hydrogen almost entirely comes from Natural Gas. So the pollution just occurs elsewhere [much like electric cars, which are far dirtier than gas cars when you account for their manufacture].

The bigger issue is it's merely a storage device, not an energy source. In other words, just a VERY complicated battery, though it can have more range with less weight, which is it's appeal.

It's mostly viewed as a scam by the fossil fuel companies. A way to seem to be interested in clean energy while simultaneously increasing their sales of fossil fuels. Yes it is 'possible' to get it from water, but that takes a huge amount of energy, which is better just put into an electric car.

There is little hope of it ever reaching wide spread adoption. There are hydrogen filling stations in a number of states, mainly California, and a few companies have been selling hydrogen powered cars for some years now.

I believe Honda was first to the party with the Honda Clarity

The Toyota Mirai is another. https://www.toyota.com/mirai/

and the Hyundai Nexo


There are now 39 filling stations in the USA, about 35 of which are in Cali.


Gas-Hybrid is the way to go for cars under $50,000, and pure elec for cars costing more than that if you don't care about pollution, at least for the next 30 years.
