| Hydrogen fuel cell cars are a "bad idea". |
The widespread
introduction of hydrogen fuel cell cars is a bad idea, writes Zachary Shahan,
editor of Cleantechnica.com. According to Shahan, hydrogen fuel cell cars will
never be able to compete with battery-electric cars. Policymakers should focus
on stimulating electric transportation. Courtesy Cleantechnica.com.
One of Cleantechnica’s regular commenters recently
dropped a very interesting link into the comments of an article about
Hyundai’s apparent shift in focus to battery-electric cars. As he prefaced it:
There’s actually a long list of problems with fuel cell cars. From someone who
actually built fuel cell cars:
http://ssj3gohan.tweakblogs.net/blog/11470/why-fuel-cell-cars-dont-work-part-1.
It is a long piece, and it’s in three parts. Admittedly, it
would be nice if the author updated it to match the current market — it was
published in February 2015 and is dated in a couple of parts.
