Because they are new.

Just found this site, my prediction just above is apparently incorrect, who woulda thought. There's a bit to unpack here: https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/11/converting-natural-gas-to-hydrogen-without-any-carbon-emissions/#:~:text=They%20detail%20efficient%20methods%20of,fuel%20cells%20that%20power%20cars.

I don't have the research to back it up, but I do know that when something doesn't have to be mobile (like in a car) then it gets easier and more efficient. I would suspect that of the numerous ways to generate hydrogen, making them stationary would allow them to be bigger, more efficient and cost less than if you tried to generate hydrogen in a moving vehicle. To be sure though, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are less efficient than battery powered vehicles. There's more energy lost in the transfer and there's no way to recover energy lost in deceleration as is possible in electric vehicles. Regardless, I think the merits outweigh the problems and could offer us another parallel solution to the replacement of ICE vehicles.

Another issue with Hydrogen is leakage.
I've worked on a number of hydrogen compressors used in the hydro-cracker unit at a refinery. We would pressure test with nitrogen to 125% of operating pressure, no leaks. Bring the compressor online and it leaks like sieve. |

I've read about that before. Could be tough to deal with.

Whoa. If that is for real, would be the proverbial game changer.

True, I also received some write up on LiFe vs Lion. The LiFe had some advantages such as being near 12 volt in stack ups. Longer life and safety. It was slightly less in power density, also I think a bit in weight and charge time. So, I don't think for auto use. Possibly for stationary storage.

One thing is fer sure, the world is going to move towards electric, to whatever degree, and we cannot concede that move to the Chinese.

Had a different sort of first yesterday. Saw my first Lamborghini SUV in the 'flesh,' this in the parking lot of the Mountain View Sprouts Market. One of these, white:
I thought, nice looking car and then realized that I didn't recognize the look of the nameplate. Looked closer and realized why, I haven't seen it too often.
