Hydrogen

BEV fanatics like to demonize hydrogen powered mass transit. Often citing a case where things did not go smoothly.

But they forget that battery mass transit has consistently failed or severely underperformed.

FCEV mass transit at least works, with occasional teething issues. But BEV mass transit is a joke.

Hydrogen is often seen as the fuel of the future on account of its zero-emission and high gravimetric energy density, meaning it stores more energy per unit of mass compared to gasoline. Its low volumetric density, however, means it takes up a large amount of space, posing challenges for efficient storage and transport.

Despite hydrogen’s challenges, BMW thinks the only way to actually achieve a shift to zero-emissions transportation is through a mix of BEVs and hydrogen vehicles.
