This is not the first time we are talking about hydrogen as fuel for a car: here, here and here. The topic is interesting, busting the promising. In any case, in California and Japan there is already a network of gas stations for hydrogen cars. And if there are refueling, that is, the car itself – I think, it is logical to assume this. The former is known to fight for the ecology for a long time, and the second innovators in life.
As for me, the more fuel types we have, the better the consumer. It will be possible to choose the type of transport adequate to my preferences in order to minimize the ride. I, for example, go only on weekends. Why do I need an electric car with its batteries deteriorating from time to time? I just had a diesel with a minimum consuming motor. But a taxi in a big city should clearly be in an electric trash: silent, environmentally friendly, efficiently. And the battery will have time to recoup until the power of power.
Honda will release a serial car with a hydrogen fuel named FCX. The power unit in this car will completely fit in the motor compartment that is new: the available cars, for example from Toyota, part of the electrochemical generator in the cabin under the seats. I think this is extremely good for the safety of passengers and for the actual reliability of cars on hydrogen.
The capacities there will be 136 horses, 480 kilometers from the gas station, which makes it possible to get to the refueling without problems – a clear thing in the same California and Japan. Here we have a thousand kilometers will not allow you to get to the gas station, because it simply does not.
There is a clear thing that there are flaws: it is very flying, which is extremely bad for problems with the tightness of the tank. Hydrogen cars use special multi -station tanks, which is clearly not good for the cost. The price of hydrogen today is clearly not small, but this is a rather massive question than the technology itself. There is a gas for a car how many years have been rare for us.
It turns out that hydrogen is slow enough, but confidently goes to the world of cars. I think he will come to us very soon. But all the same, the technological progress on the face is a chance to still ride in this life on a memorial car. We are waiting for the real operation of a car for hydrogen in Japan: for today the Toyota car Mirai is sold just excellent as for its class.
