Despite the significant investments and a promising start 20 years ago, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have faced severe setbacks, highlighting the overpowering dominance of battery-electric vehicles in the market.
The hype surrounding hydrogen fuel cells has not materialized into success in the consumer market. Fewer than 50 hydrogen stations in California and a staggering 82% decrease in vehicle sales in just one year emphasizes the failures in infrastructure and consumer interest.
While hydrogen fuel cells may be criticized, they still hold the potential to contribute significantly to combat climate change. Continued investments from major companies and supportive government initiatives may lead to innovative solutions.
Critics argue hydrogen is inefficient, especially with battery-electric alternatives like Tesla dominating. However, the commitment of companies and policymakers shows a persistent belief in hydrogen's potential even after decades of stagnation.
