I don't think it's the future, my opinion is it wouldn't be commercially viable without government support with subsidies, and there's no chance of that with the lobbyists, and general Tory decisions like Rishi putting back the clock 5 years on ICE availability on new cars. Also regarding hydrogen, I'm not convinced that if there was a high-speed collision, how dangerous hydrogen at pressure is in terms of an explosion for passenger safety and survivability, and the fact hydrogen burns with a clear flame.

Great article. I have the feeling that people cling to the hydrogen dream because of the similarity to the refueling experience of fossil fuel cars. With recycling of batteries and new battery tech, the remaining obstacle now is cost.
