Ambil statistik di New Zealand aja, cuma ada 10 pam Hidrogen berbanding 1000 unit charger. Di Amerika pun cuma di California aja baru jumpa stesen hidrogen, itu pun sebab state fund.

Kerajaan China mesti dah kaji, nak pilih EV atau Hidrogen, tapi akhirnya US230 billion disalurkan ke teknologi menyokong EV. Kini dah ada 11.33 juta unit charger EV di seluruh China.

Malah kerajaan Norway pun sama , pilih EV sebagai infra utama padahal Norway ialah negara yang kaya dengan Oil & Gas.

Akhirnya teknologi hidrogen ketinggalan 20 tahun ke belakang. Mazda pernah usahakan RX-8 rotary guna ICE Hidrogen, tapi dihentikan.

Toyota masih lagi degil dan masih promote teknologi Hidrogen. Baru baru ini aja baru mengalah pusing juga ke EV dengan line up baharu mereka hasil usahasama dengan BYD.

Kenapa agaknya teknologi hidrogen tak dapat sambutan ?

Pertama ialah kecekapan tenaga, jom baca petikan ini

....but because of the laws of physics. An internal combustion engine run on hydrogen, no matter how efficient they make the engine, still has the laws of physics to contend with. These laws govern how much energy is lost in the extraction, then production, then storage, then transformation of hydrogen into usable energy in a motor to produce forward motion in a vehicle. Once all those things are taken into account, you would have been better off simply to use the electrical energy produced in a battery. And the environment is less impacted by a BEV than by Hydrogen.....

Kos nak hasilkan 1kg Hidrogen sangat mahal. Nak mampatkan dan perangkap jadi minyak. Guna banyak tenaga elektrik untuk hasilknnya

....The greenness is questionable compared to a electric car. Most hydrogen is generated via natural gas via steam reforming (Grey hydrogen). blue hydrogen, when you do a full life cycle assessment is worse or as bad in carbon emissions as grey hydrogen. Green hydrogen takes anywhere from 45 to 50 kwh to produce 1 kg of hydrogen soup to nuts. So that would propel a hydrogen car about 65 miles, a comparable electric car can go around 200 miles on the same amount of energy.....

Jadi sebenarnya ialah kos nak hasilkan fuel cell hidrogen itu sendiri, atau prasarana. Bukannya sebab kereta hidrogen tu mahal, tapi pam minyak dan kos hidrogen itu sendiri mahal.
