[@user-kg6bb6ll1f]

Since long ago, Hyundai has been making electric cars and hydrogen cars together. The reason is that electric cars are difficult for large cars such as buses and trucks. Hydrogen cars are strong and last a long time. Hydrogen is infinite, so in the end you have to go with a hydrogen car.

14 lbs or hydrogen vs 2,000 lb battery. That's significant. By the way, how much do the hydrogen fuel tanks and fuel stack weigh?

The Tesla model 3 battery is 1000 lb. Weight is going down... 2000 lb is overreacting. The 1000 lb battery of the Tesla Model 3 can do like 580km, the nexo can do 660km something.

[@garygoldstein327]

This demonstration was very enlightening. Although how the liquid hydrogen transforms into current seemed too dificult to grasp. I can convert my car with a combustion engine to make hydrogen gas on demand as I need it without carrying any liquid hydrogen. But the fact that there are no moving parts common in my car to require replacement, This new car requires much less. And the electric motors are inside each wheel. But it would be conveinient to have a service vehicle to come top off my vehicle's range instead of find a refueling station before my vehicle runs out of energy to get to one.

[@alesssj4]

It's great to see alternatives to standard ICE and legacy fuels (petrol/diesel) but the room for improvement and speed of innovation of BEVs is larger/faster. FCEV requires the same supply chain as regular fuels therefore there's a gain in lower car emissions but the rest remains the same depending on how you produce the H2 to start with. Again, this is better than ICE and it's great to see alternatives, but I'd rather rip the band-aid at once and go BEV where you can generate your own fuel at home. I'm sure Hyundai is exploring BEVs as well.

hydrogen cars can really ECONOMISE MORE FUEL COST THAN ELECTRIC CARS IF WE MODIFY OUR CURRENT HYDROGEN DISTRIBUTION APPROACH ! The biggest cause of hydrogen cost is that WE TRANSPORT HYDROGEN BY TRUCKS, IT IS EXPENSIVE. Just try to avoid to transport hydrogen by trucks, then hydrogen will be very cheap. It means that NEED TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN ON SITES (WHERE FILLING HYDROGEN), OR TRANSPORT HYDROGEN BY PIPE LINES. So we need to make 1 or 4modifications : 1/ Distributed hydrogen production on sites : hydrogen filling stations should be equipped with electrolysers, so hydrogen filling stations can produce hydrogen on sites from electricity outlets, instead of just receiving hydrogen from other places. Thus avoid problem cost of transfer hydrogen by trucks. Besides, nets of electrolysing hydrogen filling stations are ideal solution/market for intermittent renewable energy. It is new worldwide coming hydrogen distribution approach, so it opens markets of mobile small sized electrolysers. Electrolysers are not so expensive for hydrogen filling stations. 2/ Use compressed gas hydrogen batteries with mini household electrolysers/mini mobile electrolysers : small mobility vehicles/mobility machines/mobility robots/mobility drones …, will use hydrogen gas batteries (hydrogen gas battery =hydrogen fuel cell + compressed hydrogen gas ballon 200-300 bar). And each of these mobility machines can be sale with mini home electrolysers, so that owners can produce to fill hydrogen at homes (charge hydrogen batteries at home). Hydrogen ballon 300bar is enough, so that hydrogen battery 300bar(fuel cell +hydrogen ballon 300bar) can guarantee more energy capacity than best lithium batteries, and it guarantees that the size of hydrogen battery 300bar is not remarkable bigger than lithium battery of equivalent energy capacity. Of course 700bar allows more hydrogen storages, liquid hydrogen allows more hydrogen storage. But for hydrogen batteries, gas hydrogen ballons 300 bar are enough for balance of performance-capacity-size-energy convertion ratio-ballon material-simplicity. Hydrogen batteries 300bar + mini mobile electrolysers are ideal for two-wheel vehicles/small cars/small robots/drones and for trend of hydrogen mobility devices anywhere (easy to operate anywhere and easy to charge anywhere with electricity). 3/ hydrogen batteries for big station energy storage : Independent hydrogen batteries (hydrogen fuel cell + compressed hydrogen ballons > 300bar) + independent electrolyser is best variant. when excess energy, then run independent electrolyser. When need electricity, then run independent fuel cell. And intrigued working mechanism between independent fuel cell and independent electrolyser. That is all ! No complex automatic control system. 4/ hydrogen filling stations need to prefer using hydrogen pipe line than transporting hydrogen by trucks. 5/ The fundamental science dictates essential truth advantages of hydrogen. Science : if a chemical energy storage mechanism is charged as quick as producing hydrogen, then this mechanism PRACTICALLY CANNOT HAVE ENERGY CONVERTION RATIO BETTER THAN ELECTROLYSIS PROCESS. Besides, it is possible to adjust electrolysis reaction speed to get energy convertion ratio of electrolysis better than any chemical batteries. The best one of all possible chemical batteries in earth conditions is HYDROGEN BATTERY. All revolutions of chemical batteries, lithium batteries, LFP batteries, LTO batteries, graphene batteries .. are for reaching to the features of hydrogen batteries

How to get charge in house ? Do they provide solution to charge the car?

@@dryadsdad , HFCVs date back sixty years already. This is tenth generation technology that is more inferior to the competition every day. Daimler just gave up on it after thirty years of work. VW Group recently published their conclusions of their research stating that there were essentially no benefits to HFCVs over BEVs and showing that HFCVs were massively less efficient, at best half as efficient as the least efficient EV on a power to wheel analysis. This technology is a huge waste of money and engineering talent that humanity needs to use in productive ways instead. It will never be adopted by consumers because the cars that result from using this technology have nothing to recommend them. There is no feature or performance metric they provide that buyers want. The only reason there is any interest in HFCVs is because they would create huge demand for natural gas, to the benefit of the fossil fuels industry.

[@gustavderkits8433]

The hydrogen is stored at a pressure over 700 atmospheres. Compressing it takes a large amount of energy, which is not recovered when the car runs. When you step on the brakes, the car does not reverse the electrolysis and recreate hydrogen, it uses batteries. When the hydrogen is made in the USA, the process uses natural gas, pollution is made, and energy is lost. If the hydrogen is made from water, by electrolysis, 20-30% of the energy is lost. These repeated inefficiencies make the hydrogen passenger car a stunt, not a sustainable product. The car is being used for public relations, with economic losses to Hyundai recouped from the Korean (and US) taxpayers. The real product, where the weight counts, is the long haul heavy truck, which may be sustainable, but only if the hydrogen is produced by electrolysis.

[@ruuman]

They have figured it all out, they have efficient 40ft container based hydrogen generators that are dropped onto existing fuel station forecourts, so only mild adaption of existing infrastructure (compared to all the fast chargers way easier). Way faster to fill than a BEV, lighter and once developed will be as cheap to fuel. You akso have the potential with smart power grid to only generate hydrogen when renewable is producing or over producing, or it can be burnt to cover heavy loads essentially becoming the battery for the grid. I used to be anti hydrogen, but it makes far more sense to me than BEV.

Electric power generation using fossil fuels is also inherently inefficient. Until power generation goes nuclear, BEV’s are still dirtier than FCEV’s, and still suffer from issues with charging-time and energy density. Further, hydrogen holds more promise for powering ocean freighters and large transport-category aircraft. Personally, I prefer the advantages of a hydrogen powered car.

"Poorly." I mean, the result is an expensive car with no positive features and lots of negatives, including a lot of climate change causing gas releases and groundwater pollution from fracking for the natural gas they crack for the Hydrogen.

[@tribalypredisposed]

@Trigger Troll , where and how, exactly, do you think the metals used for an ICE car are obtained? Where and how do they get the materials for a HFCV? In general, two items made from metal of approximately the same weight will require about the same amount of mining. A Mirai weighs 4,075 lbs and the heaviest Model 3 Performance with the 21" performance wheels weighs just 25lbs more. The lightest Model 3 is 500 + lbs lighter than the Mirai and outperforms it in every way for $20,000 less. This general rule stops being true when we start using palladium in our hydrogen fuel stacks, which requires a lot of tonnage of rocks be mined to obtain...
