Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) Hydrogen cars

I think it is the re-purposing of existing infrastructure that helps support the argument for Hydrogen, putting a similar infrastructure in place for electric cars requires massive investment and disturbance.

Looking at the way the Government has pushed Cell phone network upgrades and fibre broadband I don't believe that a descent electric car charging network will ever be achieved outside the urban areas.
As has been said, we do have existing fuel distribution facilities, using them to produce and supply H2 makes sense.
It will be a 20 year evolution to move the majority from gasoline/diesel to hydrogen/electric, it is not a black and white issue.
I have 3 perfectly good petrol cars, two are Euro 6 and one is Euro 5 compliant. The big V8 can be converted to run on hydrogen instead of petrol - LPG is also possible, but I'm not sure it is cost effective.
So why rush to change them?

Another bonus for hydrogen: there is also a market for the by-product, oxygen: it is a widely used industrial gas.
