    Your numbers are way off. No manufacture would even think about touching hydrogen ICE motors if they only got 10-15% efficiency.

      no manufacturer except one that’s still desperately trying to push for a hydrogen economy because they invested too much into hydrogen production

      Well. Basically no one except for dumbass boomer executives forcing the company in a direction. Like Toyota.

      according to this website, hydrogen ICEs are very inefficient. same with fuel cell vehicles. the main losses come from converting the hydrogen into and out of electricity. but if said electicity is generated in abundance with renewable energy at a cheap price, this could really be something.

      edit: you can’t really burn electricity, so as a car enthusiast i really hope hydrogen ICEs become a thing.

        BEVs are a lot of fun to drive. Car people are nostalgic for burning fuels and roaring engines, but future generations will be far less so. We just need far lighter batteries.
