The author claims the only real advantage to fuel cells is the fueling
time. And that was two years ago. It's even less of an advantage now and
the trend is continuing.
The only other argument I can see would be the efficiency of the overall
system, including generating hydrogen. The generation part is the loser.
As far as I know, there are only two ways to generate large amounts of
hydrogen: electrolysis or breaking down hydrocarbon molecules.
Electrolysis is about 50% efficient, I think. Hydrocarbon generally
depends on natural gas, and I think we're going to see an enormous push
back on fracking as more health and environmental issues manifest.
Maybe Toyota got a lot of grant money from Calif. ?

advocates. )
Very well researched article on H2 fuel cells versus EV's.
The article expertly covers the "what" but doesn't mention the "why" of Toyota
and H2.
I really would like to know what motivates Toyota to keep pushing H2 passenger
cars.

This was a story saying Toyota thought Elon Musk was right but they were going
to make Fool cells anyway. Lawrence Rhodes
