I appreciate the video, but there's a lot of misconception on the cost of H2 vs Batteries. For Batteries, the pollution and cost of fuel is paid upfront by the expensive cost of Batteries and additional energy burned with the additional weight of the battery. There's also much higher recycling cost of Batteries vs fcev. Winter also severely punishes the performance of batteries. This all makes batteries less efficient when you consider the entire life span of a battery vs a fcev. You don't have to my word for it. The Department of Energy had a study proving this in a paper published a while ago. However, it is easier to setup a charging network than a hydrogen fueling network.
Glad you liked the video :) Cost isn't really the problem we have with hydrogen, it's the efficiency. Lithium batteries enjoy a 95% efficiency while hydrogen fuel cells are generally between 40% to 60% energy efficient, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. That's a big problem, and something we covered in this video: ruclips.net/video/xmW4q8CJku4/видео.html Any thoughts on that? We'd love to hear how that's being solved or somehow accounted for.

Hydrogen fuel cells take electricity in and then produce electricity out. The efficiency of that process is what needs to improve. If it does, then the number of economically viable use cases may increase.
@Nanalyze We will see which energy system prevails for heavy-duty trucking. I foresee way too many problems applying battery-powered trucks for 40-ton trucks.
Hey Joe, surprise, surprise, lol. Yes sir, they aren't very forthcoming on the cost of those Hydrogen stations and their efficiency. Their plan is to supplement the existing Hydrogen network on the West Coast beginning in Arizona and going all the way up through California into Canada. California is going to phase out the diesel rigs at the Port of Los Angeles, including Long Beach, by 2035. That's 30K drayage semis. California also has the HVIP program. They are paying incentives of $120K for the Class 8 BEVs and $240K for the Class 8 FCEVs, of which, NKLA is dominating the amount of vouchers given. That should help off set the cost of production, temporarily, until they run out. Canada and other states, including Texas, New York, New Hampshire, Alabama, Colorado, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Hawaii are also offering incentives. There is also a $40K Federal tax credit available per vehicle. There is a lot going on. I don't know whether or not they will ever become profitable; but, it's a gamble I made 4 yrs ago. They keep moving forward despite every obstacle. I've held on too long now. Last week, I decreased my shares to a number I'm comfortable with losing. My plan was to consider them a loss and check back sometime in the future to see whether or not they made it. Then you came out with this video! 😂 Sincerely, thank you for the warning, I wouldn't have significantly decreased my investment if it weren't for your videos. If I lose it, I lose it, lesson learned on investing in/gambling on prerevenue companies.
Thank you for the very informative comment. The vouchers are something we didn't get into so that's very useful to know. Despite all odds they may make it but we have blanket rules that get applied to all companies of all types and we follow them to a tee. We need to see Nikola get to positive gross margins. That's a huge milestone that's not optional. Here's to hoping they do! Joe P.
Once we see a sufficient number of red flags for any company, that's a showstopper. Investigating what the company is up to further doesn't make much sense until they can get to a positive gross margin.
@@danieldeblasio9368 This is about Nikola. Whataboutisms aren't useful. You're confusing gross margins with operating margins. Look at Tesla's old financials and you'll clearly see the difference.

First CEO scam is too old even to mention. Cash burn, gross margins, all this is a frame of reference as any start up including Amazon & Tesla took years after they got started. Nikola is on survival mode and that’s the only only concern. All other considerations are useless. Nothing new here.
No, it's not too old to mention. In fact, it's still posing a problem for the company which was talked about in the video you didn't watch. And Tesla is a really bad example. All of their public financials as far back as you'll find show a positive gross margin.
Some of Nikola's cost is building Hydrogen stations for refueling, need a partnership to come through to lower cost and speed production of these stations. 2024 showing good progress.
And we're on the right track to pick six numbers and have a million by next year. Until they have consistently positive gross margins there is nothing to see here. And you cannot just sweep all the points of contention raised in this video under the rug and pretend like nothing happened.
Non sense. Please get over Milton, very bad start for those who are old broken record. Past have no bearing, only thing matters is if they gets enough cash to get over the hump or more bumpy ride ?

How can a company who is first to innovate hydrogen be a failure?
Running a business is very difficult. Just because a company is innovative does not make it a quality business to invest in.
