Why Can't Hydrogen-Powered Cars Become Popular?

[ElliotRose]

Source limitations. Here are the specific reasons why hydrogen-powered vehicles cannot become widespread: 1. Initial stage: The research, development, and promotion of hydrogen energy in China are still in their early stages. Moreover, previous hydrogen-powered test vehicles experienced leaks leading to explosions, which halted further promotion in the household sector. 2. Source: The extraction of hydrogen energy itself depends on other sources. For example, it requires consuming electricity to electrolyze water or comes from gas reactions, both of which involve significant electricity 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: While theoretically, a full tank of hydrogen can provide a range of 300 kilometers, in practice, it only allows for 170-200 kilometers of driving.
