• Hydrogen is a pain to store and work with. Even on rocket engine that is worth millions it’s almost impossible to avoid leaks.

    On the other hand gas can be carried in a plastic bottle and electricity is already available everywhere.

    I don’t see any future where hydrogen car become mainstream.

      Hydrogen is such a pain to deal with, the filling stations cost something like a million dollars each.

      You can’t just use normal materials to contain high pressure hydrogen - the molecules are so small that it seeps through steel and turns it brittle.
