Batteries work great in a city, anywhere else they don't. This is why hydrogen ICE makes sense.
Except you're saying this in the 1930s.
Batteries seem to work fine in rural Norway. If you live somewhere warmer and/or with a bigger population or population density than Norway, you should be fine.
Hydrogen ICE is doubling down on hydrogen's greatest flaw: efficiency. It'll have some racing applications, but putting it in a common car is stupid as fuck.
I think most are going with hydrogen fuel cell rather than ICE. It’s more efficient, if also more boring.
Edit: why on earth is this being downvoted? Am I wrong? Are manufacturers working on hydrogen combustion now instead of fuel cell? Because a few years ago it was all about fuel cells in that space. So please, let me know if I’m wrong. For the record, I think BEV makes far more sense for the average driver. But HFCV makes sense for something that can build out dedicated refueling infrastructure and benefit more from rapid refueling, like trucking.
