Amidst California’s ongoing efforts to promote environmentally friendly transportation and the changing landscape of hydrogen fuel infrastructure, Toyota has announced a dramatic rebate of up to $40,000 off MSRP for the 2023 Toyota Mirai.

You just cannot avoid having losses with an extra conversion step. Any source of energy you can fathom can supply electrical current to the car. Directly via cables. If you convert said energy to hydrogen, then back to electric, you are bound to have extra losses, thus the car polutes more, as it uses more fuel for the same distance. There’s literally no way around this, in this plane of existence, and there’s literally nothing you can do about it.
The “conversion” steps are functionally the same as what happens inside a battery. Which is why the theoretical efficiency is the same as a BEV. You are effectively doing the equivalent of battery swapping, just with a fluid rather than a solid battery pack.
What? Are you shamelessly lying?
Do you know what a fuel cell even is? It is an electrochemical system that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy. That is why FCEVs are also EVs.
You’re just regurgitating blatantly Tesla propaganda. They are lying about the merits of FCEVs vs. BEVs. An FCEV is equally valid as an EV as any BEV.
They are not equal and will never ever be equal. I have no idea what Tesla is saying about it, I’m an EE and did the math (not that complicated), and Hydrogen will forever be less efficient and will pollute more, and there’s no way around it. You are trying to minimize the impact the Hydrogen infrastructure will have on everything, and are seriously misrepresenting what it implies. This is so horrible that I’m amazed it’s even a god damned discussion. Makes NO sense, pollutes more, releases WAY more carbon for the same amount of traveled distance all things considered, heavily complicates the car since not only does the car need an EV battery, it has to accommodate the extra cell, which will cost more of-course, pollute more, and do nothing for the average folk apart from taking power out of their hands, for nothing, and to pollute even more. This topic is insane, I’m amazed more engineers aren’t on top of debunking it.
Again, all of this is pure gibberish. Both fuel cells and batteries are electrochemical systems. Both have the same level of efficiency in the theoretical sense.
Like I said, you are repeating bullshit from BEV companies like Tesla. All of the anti-hydrogen stuff is just corporate propaganda and has zero basis in fact.
And what’s ironic is that it is copied from propaganda that originated from the oil industry. BEV companies repeating this stuff just means they are repeating the same anti-green rhetoric used against all green energy. Wind, solar, geothermal, etc., even BEVs themselves, when through the same crap. And you are doing the same just against fuel cells and hydrogen.
STOP FUCKING LYING DUDE!!! Just fucking stop You have an EXTRA conversion step, from hydrogen to electric, whereas battery doesn’t. You will have losses and you cannot avoid them. Even with zero losses (which is not possible in our reality) I’d still take an EV just to not have to deal with the extra cell bullshit + control I’d give to “special Hydrogen juice” sellers. Stop lying. Just stop, you are plainly lying with no damned shame.
And what is a battery, but an electrochemical system that converts chemical energy into electrical energy? A fuel cell works the same way.
The problem is that you have been fully brainwashed. Everything I said is true, and everything you said is false. You need to step back and realize who is lying to you.
No you are obviously lying, with no shame. I cannot believe this bullshit. How can you have the same efficiency for making hydrogen then converting to electric at car motor be equal as having electric in the first place delivered via cables? There’s no way you are not trolling.
