Comments on: EV vs Hydrogen Vehicle https://www.privatefleet.com.au/blog/automotive-design/ev-vs-hydrogen-vehicle/ News and views about cars in Australia Fri, 19 Jun 2020 13:59:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.5 By: Thanh Phan https://www.privatefleet.com.au/blog/automotive-design/ev-vs-hydrogen-vehicle/#comment-8927 Sat, 02 May 2020 07:27:20 +0000 http://www.privatefleet.com.au/blog/?p=10409#comment-8927 I agree with you that a hydrogen driven car are more environmentally friendly than a electric car. However, currently, the price of gasoline and oil have dropped to a record that will affect the choice of customers to buy cars powered by what energy in the near future.
I think a hydrogen driven cars will be the trend in the future. However, it still takes a few more years for hydrogen technology to evolve as well as customer awareness of environmental issues.
Look forward to viewing your new posts.
Wish you good health and happiness

If you are going to complain about battery electric cars using finite materials then you should declare what materials are used to make hydrogen fuel cells as I think you will find they are also a finite material and possibly in less supply than those used in other vehicles.
Maybe one thing to do is a cost analysis of the various vehicles infrastructure. For instance, the latest information I can find about Hydrogen stations suggests $2mil, which can make 200kg of hydrogen per day (that’s 40 x 5kg fills per day). $2mil would install 1,000 home chargers, or it could install 20 car charging bays. Per day those 20 chargers could recharge at least 480 vehicles (equivalent of the 5kg hydrogen fills).
This is just one aspect, do some research and you can see there are many more, like removing all the heavy transport required to move that hydrogen around (electricity goes over a wire that lasts a hundred years).
Hydrogen will have it’s place, but please stop trying to make false claims about how great hydrogen is compared to battery electric, when the only issue left is the time it takes to recharge. by the way, my car recharges over night, I never wait for it.

The statement: “EVs require big, powerful rechargeable batteries that use lead–acid (“flooded”, deep-cycle, and VRLA), NiCd, nickel–metal hydride” is totally and utterly false in relation to current EV passenger vehicles. Please name one EV using the aforementioned battery technology!

I could go on pointing out the rubbish, but I won’t waste my time.
