The Hydrogen Insight investigation uncovers concerning trends in hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCEV) registrations across Europe. Despite efforts to expand hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, most European markets are seeing stagnating or declining FCEV registrations. Here are the key findings:
Data from European countries with hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) shows declines or flat registrations in FCEVs, except for three nations. Germany experienced a drastic 70% drop in new FCEV registrations in 2023. France, the UK, and Czechia are exceptions, with over ten FCEV registrations per HRS. Despite having many HRSs, Switzerland and the Netherlands also saw FCEV registrations decline.
France saw a 56% increase in FCEV sales, driven by strategic initiatives.
The UK witnessed a remarkable 261% increase in FCEV registrations in 2023.
Legislative mandates in the EU aim to bolster hydrogen infrastructure by 2030.
Despite challenges, optimism remains for future growth in the hydrogen mobility sector. While FCEV registrations face hurdles in Europe, collaborative efforts and legislative support pave the way for a promising future in hydrogen mobility. 🌱🚗
@InfoMgmtExec@TechExplorer Meanwhile, BEVs are heading for extinction. Europe is on the verge of abandoning them.
What people don’t understand is that it is either #hydrogen or it is nothing at all. People who oppose hydrogen cars/FCEVs are functionally climate change deniers.
@SuperMoosie@InfoMgmtExec@TechExplorer Your tactics are virtually identical to those of the oil and gas industry. They made the same arguments against wind and solar. In reality, it is a misdirection. To force people to only look at wasteful and impractical BEVs and their huge resource footprint. Truly green ideas, that only need wind, sunlight and water to be powered, become an "impossible" idea.
But in reality, it is pretty much climate change denial.
