ICE is definitely the steam of today. However, is EV the Betamax or the VHS? There’s still an increasing investment in hydrogen research and production and I think if they can nail it then that will turn out to be the preferred option for most people.
In the UK, hydrogen fuel costs between £10 and £15 per kg (it’s measured in kg rather than litres). That means filling a Hyundai Nexo’s 6.33kg tank, which offers around 414 miles of range will cost anywhere between £63 and £95, that’s 15-23p a mile and the Nexo is around £65k
The technology is great, and still has a lot of development to go, but BEV’s currently cost less than 5p a mile, the current price of Hydrogen makes petrol attractive in the cost stakes, at 23p a mile, thats like driving a car that does 20mpg!
I have no idea if Hydrogen prices would drop dramaticaly if in wider use?
