10 Reasons Why The Future Of Sports Cars Depends On Hydrogen Combustion

Here's why hydrogen is the untapped energy source that would keep sports cars from going electric.

There is simply not that much demand for BEVs. It is mostly a fad driven by subsidies and virtue signaling. It's a matter of when, not if something will give. VW and other car companies will have to cut production and move away from BEVs. Likely towards #hydrogen cars.

Inside BMW’s safe, smooth and fast iX5 Hydrogen SUV that refuels in 4 minutes and emits water

It baffles me why our government still ignores the H word - hydrogen.

BEVs regularly are being powered by diesel generators. This is the truth: Just because something can be powered by green energy, doesn't mean it is. In fact, BEVs struggle to match on-site power demand with renewable energy availability. In reality, #hydrogen cars will end up being greener and a lot sooner too.

More evidence that BEVs are not for everyone. Hydrogen cars are needed. Also, imagine thinking that only one solution can be allowed to exist as many BEV fanatics think. This is result of being a corporate stooge: practical green transportation gets held back, not advanced.

Reminder that large scale adoption of BEVs is still a fantasy. We simply don't have the grid capacity, and building it will take a long time. And if we did build it, we will find out that the cost is extremely high, and it completely kills off the notion that BEVs save money.

Reminder that electricity prices have soared in places that went too quick in adopting renewable energy and EVs. This is the result of not thinking things through, like realizing the need for energy storage and energy distribution capacity. This will need #hydrogen as part of the solution.

BEVs cannot be the only answer. They must invest in alternatives like hybrids, PHEVs, and hydrogen cars. Europe is just being delusional and frankly anti-consumer by mandating a single solution.

Reminder that BEVs do next to nothing to replace fossil fuels. You need a true alternative, such as green hydrogen, to actually reduce fossil fuel use. Also, nuclear makes sense too.

It's time to remind others that #BEV fanatics are blatant liars. They do not take environmentalism seriously. It is just a game to promote the BEV over all else.

And it is likely because they own shares in BEV companies, or they are trying to rationalize their own car buying choices.

As a result, they are basically fighting against climate change. They are working for corporate interest and the Chinese government. It has become a nightmare, and arguably the greatest greenwashing act today.

Hypx, 4 months ago to TeslaMotors

Reminder that battery buses have been a nightmare literally everywhere they were used. But especially in colder regions where range really drops off.

It's pretty obvious that all transit agencies will either go back to diesel, or adopt something like hydrogen buses. Physics doesn't change no matter how much someone on Twitter claims otherwise.

BEVs are functionally unfixable if the battery dies. The cost of battery replacement exceeds the cost of the car itself. As a result, they are going to lead a huge shortfall in available transportation options for the lower class. In reality, BEVs are toys for the rich. They are not serious transportation ideas.

Reminder that the difference between BEVs and PHEVs in terms of emissions is much smaller than the BEV promoters have claimed. In fact, it is arguable that small PHEVs are the greenest cars you can buy today. In reality, BEVs are only one type of green car, not the only kind. And the obsession with only BEVs is just a fad. Even a cult at times.

Polestar, Fisker, Lucid, Rivian, etc., they're all in the same boat. They're making expensive BEVs in a world that is losing interest in this fad. Eventually, probably all of them will shut down or shift to some other business.
