What Are the Reasons Why Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles Are Not Widely Adopted?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons why hydrogen-powered vehicles are not widely adopted: 1. Initial Stage: The research, development, and promotion of hydrogen energy in China are still in their early stages. Moreover, previous incidents of hydrogen leakage and explosions in trial vehicles have halted further promotion in the household sector. 2. Source: The extraction of hydrogen energy itself depends on other sources. For example, it requires consuming electrical energy to electrolyze water or generating it from reactions involving other gases, both of which involve significant energy consumption or the production of other harmful gases. 3. Stringent Hydrogen Storage Conditions: Due to the molecular structure of hydrogen, it is not as easily compressed as other gases. 4. Insufficient Range: In theory, a full tank of hydrogen can provide a range of 300 kilometers, but in reality, it only allows for 170-200 kilometers of driving.
