Narrator: If you ask someone what the long journey of cars is like, they’ll probably tell you it’s electric and that Tesla is at the forefront of movement. But what if I tell you that there’s another option that can be as good, if not better, than battery-powered electric vehicles? What if you can drive cars with the ultimate resource abundant in the universe with water as the only by-product? And they’re more likely to disrupt the auto industry than battery-powered cars like Teslas. Hydrogen fuel mobiles are a very promising and skeptical technology. Musk himself mocks mobile hydrogen fuel technology, calling them “dumb mobiles” and “stupid stupids.” But big car brands still see promises.
First, let’s describe the terms. Battery-powered electric cars, or BEVs, are the electric cars that most of us know today, like Teslas. They use a battery to buy electrical power and force the electric motor. A mobile hydrogen fuel electric vehicle, or FCEV, such as Toyota’s Mirai, combines hydrogen and oxygen to generate electric power, which then forces the electric motor that drives the car. Now, when it comes to why other people don’t buy electric cars with battery equipment like Teslas, there are 3 main reasons: they take too long to recharge, have a limited lifespan before they recharge and charge much more. Comparable gas car. So how do hydrogen cars accumulate in those areas?
When it comes to charging, hydrogen cars have depleted the electric batteries. In a super-cooling station, a Tesla can rate 30% to 50% in 15 minutes, however, it will be in the charging station for more than an hour to get a full rate. Mobile fuel cars don’t want to be revalued at all. The hydrogen tank fills up at a hydrogen station in less than five minutes, as is its typical fuel station today. This is because CECCs do not purchase electrical power as a battery; they create it on demand to force the engine. In terms of diversity, hydrogen cars seem to be increasingly successful. Among the 3 recently circulated mobile fuel cars, they have a diversity of 312, 360 and 380 miles. Most electric cars have a diversity of less than 250 miles. Although some Tesla models offer a variety of more than 500 miles, they charge more than the average customer can afford.
Autonomy and refueling times are so vital that 78% of the car executives who power mobile cars will be the advancement of electric mobility. But that doesn’t mean mobile fuel cars don’t have their own challenges. FCVVs want more competitive values. The recommended retail value for mobile fuel cars you have today is approximately $60,000, approximately $20,000 more than an entry-level BEV. This is because the production time of these cars is incredibly small. With just a few thousand or a few hundred products each year, values are almost unlikely to be competitive. But that may change soon. Automakers are looking to increase the production of their FCVVs. Toyota, in particular, has increased its production capacity tenfold and ultimately lowered the load on its Mirai. The real challenge for hydrogen fuel mobiles is the lack of infrastructure. In the United States, most hydrogen stations are located in California, with just over 40 to supply mobile owners. For CFVVs to become the advancement of automotive leaders, a wide network of hydrogen stations is essential. And automakers are slowly running to get there.
Jackie Birdsall: We paint with other automakers, as well as, you know, here in California, the state of California and commercial fuel suppliers, or any power supplier, to install hydrogen stations. where it makes the most sense for vehicles from all automakers. Therefore, you should check to ensure that any investments we make are exploited at peak production through all consumers of all automakers that last offer mobile fuel vehicles.
Narrator: If and when mobile fuel cars evolve, Tesla will face a major challenge. They will want to increase battery life and reduce charging time and price. But Teslas, and all battery-powered electric cars, are limited due to the law of declining performance. Increasing diversity requires a larger battery. A larger battery will carry more weight to the car. After a safe spot, the loaded weight no longer provides charging autonomy. With the FCEV, it’s just a set of numbers. More hydrogen stations are equivalent to more cars, and more cars are equivalent to more affordable mobile fuel cars. Tesla has a blockade on the zero emissions market in the United States, controlling 60% of the electric vehicle market. But it’s still only 2 percent of the global U.S. auto market. And the numbers are transmitted when we communicate about the global automotive market. The only thing that really slows down the FCVUs is infrastructure, and as hydrogen stations become more abundant, Tesla may lose the importance of the zero-emissions market. For a generation that is “incredibly stupid,” it has a good chance of becoming a genuine festival for the same consumers that Tesla is targeting. Then Elon might wish to take note.
