@JenLucPiquant @Brad_Rosenheim That sounds like a hiding to nothing. Another Western car company that is freaking out over the rise of the electric colossi of the Far East. If they do more of this kind of thing they'll end up like Isotta-Fraschini and Delahaye…

Unfortunately customers with #hydrogen vehicles in California experienced chronic hydrogen shortages with prices hitting $36/kg (with a tank capacity of 5.3kg). Empty fuel stations and broken pumps often required 20+ mile round trips just to fuel up and long delays when they got there. The hydrogen is so cold pumps have to warm up between cars to function, resulting in long queues. And the cherry on the cake, nothing like the manufacturers advertised range. Terrible choice.

Yeah, the hydrogen infrastructure around SF bay hasn’t been great, my fuel cell car driving friends have told me. They love the cars, though.
