NamX or New Automotive and Mobility eXploration says it has solved the lack of infrastructure problem bugging fuel-cell startups. NamX has two hydrogen tanks, one is common to other FCEVs like the Toyota Mirai, the second tank uses removable hydrogen capsules, which don’t need to refilled at the regular station, instead the capsules can be bought at stores, there are 6 capsules in NamX and together with the other tank can fuel the vehicle for 500 miles, it takes about 30 seconds to swap. NamX plans to start selling HUVs in 2025.
VW is developing a new hydrogen fuel cell for a vehicle that could achieve 1,240 miles of range. BMW has said the next trend for cars and SUV power will be hydrogen, with sales beginning in the U.S. within few years.
There will be a variety of options for hydrogen-fuelled vehicles coming to the market across single-capsule, two-tank, multiple-tank systems, and others depending on the vehicle type and solution needs.
Hydrogen fuel cells have an energy-to-weight ratio ten times greater than lithium-ion batteries. this means hydrogen-powered vehicles can offer much greater range while being lighter and occupying smaller volumes.
Several manufacturers released hydrogen fuel cell cars commercially, with manufacturers such as Toyota, Hyundai, and industry groups in China having planned to increase numbers of the cars into the hundreds of thousands over the next decade.
Hydrogen will be a 23 Trillion market by 2030 and up,refueling all industries from cars,trucks,bus,trains,planes,ships and stationary power refueling industries,electrical grids.
Hydrogen fuel cell industrial power grids only way to help clean cars!
Hydrogen and fuel cells are seeing a resurgence in interest large-scale production of fuel cell vehicles has begun, and hundreds of thousands of homes are now heated and powered by fuel cells a key difference since the last hydrogen hype cycle in the 2000s.
It will be no surprise if the price of exotic components like cobalt, manganese copper and lithium go through the roof on the way to 2025 and up, destroying the economic case for plug in EV, then there’s the perennial range-anxiety, the need for a hugely expensive charging infrastructure, some experts claim electric cars don’t do much to save carbon dioxide (CO2) because many lithium cars are connected to oil or coal power grid system!
Maybe this is why GM took a step back from bringing there EV lithium car projects to market? sources say GM ramping up development of hydrogen-powered or fuel-cell vehicles.
Even Einstein would agree Hydrogen the most abundant element in the Universe will run our lives,from homes to your cars,Planes,Trains ect.
