Except these hydrogen bombs... I mean hydrogen cars can explode. The electrocution... I mean electric cars can zap you. The only safe car is the car powered by baby seal’s fat. Barring that, good ole fracked oil is the way to go.
But opening up a number of hydrogen stations won’t be easy, or cheap: Outfitting a single station for driver-ready hydrogen could cost about $1 million. Battery-powered, plug-in cars have a similar problem, though they can at least connect to the electric grid. There’s nothing like that for hydrogen.

So maybe Musk is right, and comparing this car to the Tesla S isn’t fair either, since Tesla is planning a similar electric car that will cost less than the Toyota.
it beats california’s bullet train....
Until I can recharge a battery powered car in 5 minutes it will never work for me. I drive at least 220 miles per day and could easily double that if I have to jump in my car and go to a facility that has an emergency that requires hands on work be done. I cannot afford to wait 24 hours to charge a car. Hydrocarbon and fuel cells are the only option long term for many of us.
There is no reason why the Tesla, or even a Volt could not adapt this technology without redoing the whole car. The point of the fuel cell is to provide the electricity. Drive trains, etc. remain the same.
Musk hates it because it has legs. Toyota didn’t need the government nipple in their mouth to build a car the way Musk did.
The irony is that our government will negotiate for the right for countries that threaten us to develop the means to gain the raw materials to manufacture nuclear weapons...
...while simultaneously restricting the one compound that makes using & storing hydrogen as a replacement for gasoline and the ‘battery-religion’ a viable alternative...
...all because this compound can amplify the effects of a nuclear weapon...if one has the means to manufacture & detonate it...
...in a society where our rights to even buy a gun are under assault, let alone acquiring the means to blow up a stupid tree stump on your own property...and the assault on the means to reload your own ammo...
‘Irony’ is but one word...
If the byproduct is water, in the Winter, the byproduct would be ice. What could possibly go wrong with thousands of hydrogen cars laying down layers of ice on the road?
