Hydrogen can fully emulate the use of petrol and diesel, unlike batteri... moreIn essence hydrogen car is emulating a electric car, with a smaller, much more expensive battery called fuel cell. Only way it emulates petrol/diesel is, that it has hydrogen fuel tank instead of 5 minute recharge for long trips, that modern day EVs require.

Then hydrogen gets converted to electricity in fuel cell, to run the car. Too much wastage of energy and money in this transition. It would be cheaper, less expensive and convenient to run a CNG or electric car.

In fact, hydrogen vehicles have higher emissions than typical ICE vehicles.

Its fine to bet on hydrogen. As long as you are still making a 1000v/48V platform, with solid state battery, L4 autonomy, battery swap. If you are just betting on hydrogen, then you will get extinct, like hydrogen train makers
