For the first time, luxury vehicle manufacturer BMW has a fleet of hydrogen-fuelled cars on South Africa’s roads, supported by a green hydrogen refuelling infrastructure set up at its Midrand campus in Johannesburg.

I really liked this video explaining some of the challenges with a consumer hydrogen powered vehicle: https://youtu.be/rtZQLUtckS4?si=OF2P2MWco-XSKGLy

I think hydrogen might have potential for trucks but for consumers, at least where EVs can work, I don't think there's a real advantage unless a major breakthrough changes things.

BEVs are simply too expensive and impractical for most people. It will end up like diesel cars and eventually be abandoned. Hydrogen cars at least make sense from a fundamental point of view.
