BMW’s pilot fleet of hydrogen-powered cars is on the road
A hydrogen-powered X5? Oh, the huge manatee
BMW is starting the public access phase of its plan to persist with hydrogen fuel cells, readying a pilot fleet that will go into service this year
The car that’ll be putting in the aforementioned service is the iX5 Hydrogen, a gigantic land yacht that is to efficiency what a teenager is to honesty*. Even so, the iX5 manages more than 300 miles between refills, taking on 6kg of compressed hydrogen at a time. Doesn’t sound like much, but remember that hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe, so carrying 6kg of it in the space allowed means compressing it to 700 bar - more than 10,000PSI, or about the pressure you’d get if you were 4.3 miles underneath the ocean’s surface
