@@alexhennage there's probably more process to gasoline and diesel than getting pure hydrogen, though there's more supply of ready to use gasoline and diesel than hydrogen - I don't think there's that much demand on hydrogen than gasoline or diesel.
It’s expensive because the supply chain isn’t there yet. Hydrogen is produced at every petroleum refinery, but they would need pressure swing adsorption facilities to produce clean hydrogen fuel and remain sustainable. Hydrogen can be shipped and stored, similar to propane, so it can be placed in remote areas, as long as a truck can access it to refill the tanks.

That's the direction aviation is going right now, so I don't see why the automotive industry wouldn't follow, it's just much less hassle than gas bottles and lithium cells (which don't need oxygen to light up!), though I have to admit, battery electrics have a certain allure to them when done right too.

I mean, they might only raise the price by like 8000 but give you 15000. They know that a majority wont be able to use up the full 15000, so having that “free $15,000” will draw in customers. The same thing works with gift cards. A large amount of gift cards end up unused, so if you sell a $100 gift card but the recipient only spends $75, you basically get a free $25.

hydrogen energy conversion rate is appaling, even in theory it's much worse than the worst of battery.
We are talking theoretical, physics limit, not manufacturing or adoption.
And this video I linked is sponsored by Toyota, so even that is overestimate in hydrogens favor.
You are doing all this work to throw 60% of electrical energy away.
Battery cars had problems with battery chemistry, for mass adoption... Hydrogen has problems with physical properties of the universe.
And batteries are very recyclable in right conditions.
Any hope of hydrogen lies in making if from gas, which is also main reason Shell is supporting the efforts.
I hope I managed to distill the essence of Toyotas blunder, if you are still a believer I am sorry for you.
I find it weird how every electric car tops put at around 400 miles driving distance.
Batteries have a hard, physical limit. We havent been able, and wont be able, to overcome it without signficant improvements to battery technology.
Thanks because statistics tell us nobody drives longer than than without stopping for a recharge (and a coffee and a piss).
There is no point in bigger batteries when 90% of.the drivers never use more than half of a battery.

@@justincarroll1836 You do realize that gasoline is just as flammable, right? In fact, it's even more dangerous because, unlike a hydrogen vehicle, a gas powered vehicle is actually actively igniting its fuel source.
@@AndrewDeLong what are you talking about. Hydrogen is an odorless gas that burns with an invisible flame and can burn at a much leaner ratio with air. Hydrogen cars still combust fuel, they just do so more like a fuel injection system. The only difference is that the Hydrogen is a gas during that process instead of a liquid to be aerosolized. Once again, there's a reason nobody with a background in chemistry would operate a hydrogen car.
There should be a way where u can use electrolysis in water so u can produce both hydrogen and oxygen to make back water as your waste gases. Imagine if that was possible. But that wouldn’t make sense cause it would be to inefficient
These cars have to eject water out the bottom as waste.
You don't need pure oxygen to produce hydrogen. Only water. And this Mirai need 700 bars compressors to refuel its tank. Good luck having that at home.
@@yutuniopati Do you fill gas cars at home
yes there is a way, but the problem is is that it would take just as much energy to perform electrolysis, through the law of conservation of energy, that would be produced from the electrolysis, and eventually this closed loop will not have sufficient energy to continue without adding external energy into the system

Hydrogen is already created in the process of hydro fining oil to make gasoline. As fuel consumption and demand reduces, hydrogen plants can add pressure swing adsorption facilities to produce clean hydrogen fuel and remain sustainable. Hydrogen can be shipped and stored, takes very little time to fill and may be a bridge to gap “range anxiety”. A current issue with electric cars is that they are charged at night, when grids are powered by fossil fuels. If we can encourage people to charge during the day, it would help consume the electricity glut provided by solar, offsetting the “duck curve”.
The reason hydrogen is expensive right now is because there’s no demand for it and there’s little supply. The engines are as efficient as gasoline engines which is impressive and within our life times hydrogen fuel will be cheaper than gas and eventually even hydrogen cars will be as cheap as gasoline powered cars.

It’s better for the environment than both. It’s only so expensive because it’s new tech
@@FizzyCape Its not. It takes only a small amount of research to understand why. Hydrogen isn't as much a way to generate power as it is a way to store power. The issue is that the energy conversion losses are much, much, much higher than batteries, even when you take into account the added weight. This is not something that we can improve either. It's just the physics of how it works.
The only application hydrogen makes sense is for heavy duty vehicles like ships, freight trains, and maybe airplanes, where is not feasible to carry that many batteries or build electric infrastructure.
For light duty vehicles it's a fool's errand, we already have the infrastructure for charging BEVs in every home and workplace.
The only reason hydrogen gets any attention is because fossil fuel companies want to produce it from methane, defeating the purpose of ZEV mandates.
They were just trying something new. At least they didn't go full retard with electric cars like everyone else. Toyota focused more on hybrids over BEVs and that seems like the right call.
@@FizzyCape Aside from a very small bubble. Most people aren't that serious about the environment when it comes to driving cars. Yeah, they want fuel efficiency but that's mainly due to saving money.
@@Ka_Gg no, but the government who’s trying to outlaw the production of gas cars does.
It's also only available in California and there's always a chance that it'll burst into flames in your garage and burn your house down.
EVs have roasted more people alive in them than hydrogen cars have, and gasoline cars have killed even more people that way
but of course, since you're a genius, you obviously know that gasoline is a substance that couldn't burn right?
If there was just the same enthusiasm as there was for electric, it could be feasible. More places to fill up and prices could be comparable to gas. Range wouldn't be a problem like it is with electric.
Toyota Mirai is very slow, has no interesting features, a boring design, so it makes sense that people are not interested in hydrogen vehicles.
Electric range is not an issue for the majority of people though. The 200+km drives are not done on a daily basis for most people.
@@arakwar maybe not in Europe. Where I live people often drive an hour just to get groceries. Power can go out for days or even weeks at a time for millions of people during storms. Sure, most people in cities would have no issue, but hydrogen is much more practical. There's a reason most warehouses use propane fork lifts rather than electric ones. It's just easier and quicker to change a tank than recharge a battery.
Sure, most people won't have an issue with electric range most of the time. However, busy people don't have time to waste charging. Most work places still don't have chargers, and you can't always get a full charge in a short time at home. Not to mention if you want to go a longer distance for vacation it may take you 30% or more longer to get there.
The other problem with Hydrogen is fill up.
For work I have to use a Mirai, I have to wait for the hydrogen fill up.
Not because they are still filling up but because the temperature on the nozzle from a fill up drops dramatically with the hydrogen being pumped in.
They VERY often freeze over which is an absolute nightmare.
It’s a pain in the ass. I think Solid State batteries and EV’s are clearly the future. Hydrogen is not it.
Except hydrogen requires drilling for natural gases which is why the oil industry wants to move to hydrogen so they can keep making money from drilling. Oh and the process of going from natural gas to hydrogen gas they strip the co2 and that goes into the atmosphere
Just imagining a future where hydrogen is running out and people start filling bags with hydrogen

Mirai Means Time, So You Need A Long Time For Finding Hidrogen Station
Isn't it future?
I build my own hydrogen machine.
I collect water from the rain, and turn it with solar electricity into oxygen and Hydrogen.
Because u know, water is H^2O.
But if it fail, it all blows up...
Mirai means future
@Jimmy Edward It's not the looks of the car, but what the car is running on.
@Jimmy Edward Hydrogen is the future is Toyota's words, not mine
$93 to fill up the tank!?! 🤣🤣🤣
Interesting how there are not many comments on that topic. 400miles for 93$ is insanely expensive. At least in EU. Here, 1000km is usually around 70€ with a regular VW 2L diesel engine.
@@matija3045 Dude that's expensive in the USA too unless you have a big truck or an SUV
@@matija3045 That’s what about it used to cost for my GMT400 suburban to fill the tank before gas prices exploded. 400 miles as well. This is a joke.
imagine you think you just rear ended a camry and then you see the light
BUT it's hard as hell to find places that sell Hydrogen outside of California
They could bypass any hydrogen explosion to shoot through the cars frame internally and work similar to how a gun silencer works it would be a solid safety measure
This somehow reminded me of the guy that invented a car that is powered by water, but then he "mysteriously" died.
I have seen an article about a guy who invented an water powered engine. They gradually dishonored him, and made him crazy in eyes of society. Imagine how much power oilbarons have, they can make you dissappear in a matter of hours. But this was atleast a decade ago, maybe even two. Now they have to loosen a little bit, because everyone is talking about how they pollute our planet, about climatic change, but they have already made so much money, that maybe 20 generations of their ancestors will never have to work. Now it's the time of elecrobarons and hydrobarons.
The idea of a water powered engine is ridiculously stupid. It would take just as much energy to split a water molecule as you’d get from burning its components.
@@northkoreabestkoreao9690 search him up on RUclips, his name is Paul Pantone. Its not powered only by water, but its powered by 80% with water
He apparently was exposed multiple times he claimed after the first it was only the water car possible by his method than the second time he was called out on it not being able to actually function as there was no footage of it actually working and the blueprints he provided were so flaw it looked like a kid did it, so I'm almost certain that guy just created a hoax and I don't think he actually died. (oh I think you were talking about Stanley ruclips.net/video/ELkH3rXRQ1w/видео.html) ?
@@mattmurphy7030 am i talking about a car? No? Im talking about an engine. And as you can see, cars run on hydrogen, which you can produce yourself at home. But i dont recommend it. I knew a guy who was experimenting with hydrogen at home. he blew up his house, and the explosion killed him, also it blew up half of his neighbours house and killed two more people
Oh, so these are the cars Michael Bay uses for his films
Did y’all know that the person who originally designed a car like this tried to take it to a car manufacturer they turned him away and he was found dead and his plans missing.
Same for the “water engine” (same concept but using water and doing the split to hydrogen and oxygen) but we are su much of a pussy that we let some Corp guy do this, the USA have been trash since the 60s. The only good thing from there have been computers, equal right for women and the racist thing.
There's a reply here, but it's missing too. It's been happening way too often to be a glitch, and almost always on controversial topics. :3
Imma just stick to gas
Sounds like the most useless car ever made
not economic, ELECTRIC CARS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION
Make your own hydrogen.
let’s hope he lived in southern california
There are no stations basically, each one costs way too much to build, the fuel is expensive, the car costs the same as a bmw 5 series, and it’s 0-60 is what 9+ seconds?
"Psst - you can easily make hydrogen at home."
It's a young technology, you're looking at this like a luddite
@@cannaroe1213 yes. And then? How are you going to store it at 700 bar? It costs insane amounts of energy to store it at that pressure. Efficiency is only 60%
@@anhk_yt then it useless to buy now
@@Gren4te no energy medium we currently have has good storage efficiency
I see fuel station everywhere, but not hydrogen station everywhere 😐
Fill up time includes the time to drive to the filling station and wait in line and then defrost the hose connector so you can get it off the car. It's a bad idea.
Bruh they've had tanks able to take 50 cal shots for years and y'all still acting like they'll blow up like that.
The only problem with hydrogen cars is that they’re not very prevalent. They’re in the same position electric cars were in 5-10 years ago. Once more people buy them they will be an awesome bridge between gasoline cars and electric cars.
No it’s the opposite. I see hydrogen-powered electric cars replacing battery-loaded electric cars, after hydrogen infrastructure follows through.
@@kaniblurous this will never happen, because the infrastructure will take so much to build, but the infrastructure for battery powered electric cars already exists in every home in America.
@@kaniblurous electric is more efficient to make anyway. Litrally have the Earths wind and the suns solar beams that can charge ev's. Meaning it is very easy to get ahold of. Meanwhile hydrogen needs nuclear sations to split water molecules. Soon EV's can run without even needing to stop to charge since they will be charging themselves while on the move or the range will simply as long that the trip would need only a single charge from the persons home. The batteries that our in the phones are the same that are used in EV's but are to bigger scales. Also EV's are much safer due to their low centre of gravity and are much spacious than other powered vehicles as they don't need a massive tank.
@@mattle841 You're living in a fantasy-world if you actually believe wind and solar technology is, or ever will be, efficient enough to power all electric vehicles. States, like CA, who are heavily invested in this "Green Technology", already suffer from shortages in their output capacity. Now you're talking about putting even more stress on that already struggling infrastructure?
You would not be able to handle an influx in electric vehicles without resorting back to carbon-based sources of electricity. There's simply no way around the fact that the technology doesn't exist for the fantasy you're envisioning.
@@mattle841 I am the chief operating engineer at a small power plant in Canada. Now I have no idea to what level you do or don't understand electricity generation, but wind and solar are unreliable, and make very little electricity in most cases.
The best non-carbon electricity generation is nuclear and hydro dams, by far. Those wind turbines have a ridiculous design that puts absurd amounts of weight on one side of a huge bearing- with no counterweight on the other side. They break down constantly, and it is extremely tedious to fix them.
Solar panels are a lot better than wind, but still are subject to night time, cloudy days, dust, and snow. Their efficiency will degrade over time quicker than a steam or water turbine that's centralized and maintained.
He left out one big thing you should know before buying this…it’s only available in California
My neighbor has one (Colorado).
But it used to be 20 usd a kg? There is more than 5 new ly built fuel stations per quarter?
I’ll stick with charging my Tesla at home for 75 cents a day lol
@funnyguy73 electric cars pollute by proxy, if it werent for the fossil fuel industry and traditional automakers lobbying against nuclear that won't be a problem.
@@gasun1274 Wait till you see the battery waste within decade
@@jimmylives Wait til you see the lithium wars of the future. South America will be the next Middle East.
Idk man 6 hours to charge isn’t reliable
@@cartdemon12 who’s car takes 6 hours to charge? Also how is measurement of time related to reliability
Imagine the explosion size of the hydrogen pump.
Under-rated
It's only really expensive right now because the tech is still new and not as readily available and efficient yet. Give it 5 years and it'll greatly go down in price and become much easier to use and more readily available, ESPECIALLY as more cars adopt this tech as an alternative to EVs (which we'll probably see both on the road where hybrids replace gas with Hydrogen).
That's a little more per mile than I expected
