Hydrogen-Electric Semi Truck Sales Are Skyrocketing - Here's Why.

[@kaf2303]

IMO. With battery prices dropping fast, BEV is a cheaper & less complex product that is cheaper to operate and maintain!

[@Simon-dm8zv]

Absolutely. Hydrogen is a massive waste of time, money and resources.

[@robles100]

There's a lot of people hating on Nikola for whatever reason. But the reality is that Nikola trucks are all over the place around the LA and Long Beach ports hauling freight. The future of transportation is happening right in front of our eyes . And that's a FACT.

[@conor7154]

NKLA is 5 dollars a share. And that’s a FACT.

[@Simon-dm8zv]

Yes, the Nikola battery electric truck is a great product.

[@harveyhill2186]

Would they be economic without the subsidies currently provided?

[@paulkroeck3806]

Nikola has to get to $75 a share to even break even from last year. They are in so deep that bankruptcy is just around the corner. Oh FYI. The big truck companies already have hydrogen trucks in design and R&D.

[@danieldeblasio9368]

Loser

[@7779-c3m]

Nikola has 50.60 million shares outstanding. The number of shares has increased by 113.99% in one year.Aug 12, 2024, 4:00 PM

[@vv247]

Better than any video Nikola ever did.

[@richardservatius5405]

doesn't the water have to be pure? otherwise slight impurities would build up in the system. The costs of purifying the water would raise the cost of running water into hydrogen.

[@Black66]

Good informative video!

[@us-tuontilohja6146]

Perhaps Nikola is big company some day!

[@Aircam73]

Notice they never talk about costs? To give you an idea on why hydrogen trucks will never take off. It costs 5 to 6 times as much for the fuel, 3 times the cost for the truck, more maintenance and higher operating non fuel costs. To go 100,000 miles in a FCEV (hydrogen) semi it will cost over $400,000 in fuel alone. To go the same distance in diesel truck it will cost $66,000. No one is going to pay $344,000 more to fuel their trucks every year. As a bonus to go the same distance in a BEV (electric) semi it will cost $14,000. How many people do you know that are willing to pay the difference of over the cost of a new semi every year in fuel alone to drive a hydrogen truck?

[@nguyep4]

The hydrogen tank in the truck needs, require replacing multiple times during the 1M miles service life.. Hydrogen isn't meant for this application. Battery only will be the way.

[@Hyundai30]

This guy should be a rep for Nikola, actually shows people how good the company is

[@johnanish201]

Thanks for the video

[@vicmed6088]

Use the grants that carb offer to buy these trucks,it’s a win situation,out of pocket is too expensive

[@michaeljvera]

Still DCA @ $2.50/day. Let’s ride the wave together.

[@impermanence5277]

Loaded up the dip

#NikolaForTheWin

[@jorgekumagai2672]

We have wait and see if this technology is promissing or not.

[@mikeg3810]

Funny.A year or two ago, all you heard on tv was Nicola was going down as if they’re going out of business. Now look at them now. Can’t always trust the news.

[@conor7154]

Yes. Look at them now. 5 dollars a share after their insane reverse split. Pre reverse split would be like 30 cents a share lmao.

[@notsosuavemate]

In Europe sure

[@PHENIXRENEX]

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@2023gainer]

We need Large commercial vehicles steering away from gas/ diesel for real charge to our global air quality. Thumbs Up video/ comments. Thanks

[@Aircam73]

95% of all hydrogen is made through steam reformation which is just as bad or worse than burning diesel and you get to pay 5 times as much to pretend to be green.

[@emoney822]

Hyzon motors will be acquired by somebody real soon

[@makak2366]

still fraud , forever fraud

[@matthewtatarian147]

This is stupid. Hydrogen is way too expensive to be viable. Electric trucks are the only solution at this point

[@vemular1]

what is the per mile cost of operating of a fcev truck vs. a diesel truck , how economical is fcev when compared to deisel truck?

[@rudyhernandez5316]

I gave up on Nikola

[@charlescole-p9v]

The overall economics of Hydrogen is pathetic. It's not easy and very expensive to produce, hard to store and transfer compared to electricity. And ever Toyota has given up on it !

[@JuanMendoza-df6ex]

That's not true, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai are developing Fuel Cells.

[@ABa-os6wm]

Bullshit is skyrocketing. Here's why. 🤣🤣

[@Simon-dm8zv]

@@JuanMendoza-df6ex barely. At the same time they are developing and selling many times more EVs.

[@dannymorales3904]

Garbage

[@Mountainman524]

Ok short

[@BobQuigley]

Hydrogen trucks requires green hydrogen. You're more likely to find a herd of unicorns than enough green hydrogen to run a handful of vehicles. Fuel cells are expensive and extremely difficult to keep running. A hydrogen vehicle has everything that an EV requires along with dangerous difficult to contain hydrogen. Can only assume this channel is supported by the fossil fools industry.
