Honda's partnership with General Motors to develop hydrogen vehicles, Toyota's continued support for hydrogen technology, and the ability to retrofit conventional gasoline engines to run on hydrogen all raise questions about the viability of electric vehicles in the future.
Although there are conversion kits available in Europe to convert gasoline cars to hydrogen, the options available to drivers are limited by reliability concerns. These changes often result in less reliable vehicles, in stark contrast to the more reliable performance of electric vehicles equipped with hydrogen fuel cells.
Today, Toyota has developed a unique hydrogen engine that will run more reliably on hydrogen than a converted gasoline engine, but will not benefit from the performance benefits offered by the more common stack approach. fuel. Both forms of electricity have one major problem: there is no hydrogen infrastructure and hydrogen generators are not cheap.
