Popular Hydrogen Car Models and Prices
Toyota Mirai
The Toyota Mirai is one of the most well-known hydrogen cars on the market. Its base price is around $58,000, but with available incentives and rebates, the cost can be significantly reduced.

‍

Honda Clarity Fuel Cell
The Honda Clarity Fuel Cell is another popular hydrogen car model, with a starting price of around $59,000. As with the Mirai, government incentives can help lower the overall cost of ownership.

‍

Hyundai Nexo
The Hyundai Nexo is a stylish hydrogen-powered SUV with a starting price of around $60,000. Government incentives can also be applied to the Nexo, making it more accessible for potential buyers.

Hydrogen cars run clean, basically creating water with some lubricating oil and metal contamination.

The negative side is the production hydrogen. Usually from natural gas and other hydrocarbon sources, takes considerable energy to produce. It take more energy to compress hydrogen to a useable energy density for an automobile. Hydrogen, the smallest element, is very difficult to handle and prevent leaks.

Conversion to hydrogen, as an automobile fuel requires, would require gasoline stations to be replaced with hydrogen stations.

Along with production costs, the cost of infrastructure enhancement will be prohibitive, except in the few large metropolitan areas where hydrogen stations already exist. Not likely to replace EV's, but will prolly continue to have a niche role.

We watched a video about this when I was in school….

It would be great if it was practical.

Hydrogen is not now and will never be a viable replacement for gasoline or electric vehicles. Its energy density per unit volume is far worse than gasoline, and its production realities in terms of energy requirements combined with storage impracticalities mean it will never compare favorably with electric cars either. The laws of physics won’t change, thus hydrogen has never and will never make sense as long as gasoline exists, and we don’t have much more nuclear power on the grid as well as far better battery technology than we have now.

Gasoline and diesel continue to be the only energy that makes sense for motor vehicles. Everyone knows that, even if some deny it publicly to suit their agenda. 50 years from now things will still be the same.

I'd be worried about driving around with tanks of pressurized hydrogen.

It might make some sense for fleets where a central source is available but prolly never for our distributed systems.

I heard they'll take out everything in a 20 mile radius if they crash... 😟

Well you don’t have dirty mining of minerals and the shipping of various materials and components to assemble a EV.

Impossible blasphemy.

No batteries and no farts = do NOT pass “Go”. Do NOT collect $200. And go directly to you’ve been cancelled.

There are two problems with Hydrogen cars:

One is infrastructure. So like propane they seem to make sense only as fleet vehicles.

Second is the common problem with all non-gas cars. People who do not understand the technology quickly and loudly cry that they will never work, are bad, dangerous, etc. - without even the beginnings of a clue. You only have to go as far as posting #5 in this thread to see it demonstrated.

Maybe just something so I can dry my liberal tears.

How about that $200?
