Could the EV be obsolete already?

[BillsFan]

Science... It takes a much lower concentration of gasoline in the air to be explosive...

Actually hydrogen has a lower ignition point. Meaning kaboom alot easier

[TampaJim]

Hydrogen to the masses is viable, down the road. The primary issue, infrastructure.
We're lacking in production, transportation, distribution, retailing and even more.
EVs are more easily implemented. Transmission lines everywhere, plug in at home.
There's not a silver bullet, yet. It's coming. Overall, if forced to choose now, PHEV.

Hydrogen? Has every body already forgot about the Hindenburg?

Nein..


"fossil fuels™" how did THEY™ ever think up that part?

[n2ratfishin]

As we are seeing in NC, he who controls the energy controls the battlefield. Mark my words, which ever we way go all of us are going to pay more to get around in the future.

Hydrogen has to be highly pressurized and super cooled. It’s not a simple
process

So like when the first CoVid-19™ shots came out? Now the 'shooter™' just carries them around in their smock for 'quick pokes™...' (sign here)

Gasoline is considered more explosive than hydrogen.

Isn't the vapor more dangerous than the actual fuel?

Apparently Electric vehicles are not so simple either.

Is the EV going to be the Beta tape of the auto industry????

[Rangerdeepv]

Remember the Hindenberg?

[AKRISONER]

its an infrastructure race, not vehicle tech race.

How many charging stations do you see around vs hydrogen fueling stations? Unless you draw some very significant investment into refueling infrastructure there's no stopping the path we are on to using electric vehicles.

I'm trying to find it, thought it was called the Vornado or something like that, no luck.

The GM 4.3 had "Vortec" technology, but you're probably thinking of the Tornado Fuel Saver.

Thats it I think the tornado, looked like a little metal fan.

Well I can charge at home while I sleep so it’s pretty simple. Look up hydrogen fueling stations and how they work. Pretty complicated and requires a lot of power.

Like it was yesterday Wasn't it in 1937?

That's also not true. Gasoline's ignition temperature is about half of hydrogen's. ~500F for gas and ~1000F for hydrogen. Where are you guys getting this stuff?

Yep - grab one of those and a can of Slick 50 and you'll turn your car into an indestructible muscle car!

Dump 5 gallons of gas in one room and release 5 gallon equivalent of hydrogen in another equal size room with doors shut and immediately flip the light switch or a lighter and see what happens.
You could also try this experiment with propane but I wouldn't recommend it

I remember the guy with the small 5hp on the back of his truck running around the neighborhood draining the oil selling the slick 50 when I was a kid
