The End Of EVs Has Come, And It’s Toyota’s Fault – They’re Going To Change Everything, And It’s Going To Be Hydrogen
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on El Diario 24.
These are the first two paragraphs.
The future of environmentally sustainable vehicles appears to be hydrogen based and Toyota is the frontrunner in developing this new technology.
The development of electric battery powered vehicles was a gamechanger for the industry and signified the first big shift since the introduction of fossil fuel powered vehicles all those years back. The current downside to electric vehicle, is of course, charging times as well as infrastructure to support charging stations. Japanese automaker, Toyota, has decided to switch lanes on the road to sustainability by investing research and funds into the development of a hydrogen powered system. This model has great potential in terms of environmental sustainability and user-friendliness but are the initial roll outs proving to be a success?
The article is from Argentina, which is a big country and range and charging could be a bigger factor, than in some countries.
But then Ricardo take a similar view to Toyota on hydrogen.
I also believe that hydrogen internal combustion engines will provide an alternative route to affordable zero-carbon vehicles, that are of all sizes.
I’m with Toyota on this one and the article is a must read.
The Anonymous Widower 
Fuel cells are too inefficient and its surprising more effort hasn’t been put into ICE hydrogen development but maybe the practicalities of building reliable engines has meant it was discounted early on?
