Are hydrogen cars a threat to Tesla?

Tesla owns over half of the zero-emissions market in America, but that only accounts for two percent of the entire US car market. The main reasons consumers don’t switch to battery-electric vehicles are due to long recharging time, range anxiety, and cost.

Is hydrogen or electric better?

However, as hydrogen cars densely pack their energy storage, they’re usually able to achieve longer distances. While most fully electric vehicles can travel between 100-200 miles on a single charge, hydrogen ones can get to 300 miles, according to AutomotiveTechnologies.

Will hydrogen fuel cells disrupt the automotive industry?

And they’re more likely to disrupt the auto industry than battery-powered cars, like Teslas. Hydrogen fuel cells have been a technology of great promise as well as great skepticism. Elon Musk himself often mocks hydrogen fuel cell technology, going so far as to call them “fool cells” and “mind-bogglingly stupid.”

Are hydrogen fuel cell vehicles a good alternative to gas-powered cars?

Although the automotive industry seems like it’s slowly making a shift towards battery-powered vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles could be another great alternative to gas-powered cars.

Why don’t people buy hydrogen cars like Teslas?

Now, when it comes to why people don’t buy battery-electric vehicles like Teslas, there are three main reasons: They take too long to recharge, they have a limited range before they need to be recharged, and they cost a lot more than your comparable gas-powered car. So, how do hydrogen cars stack up in these areas?

Will more hydrogen stations equal more electric cars?

More hydrogen stations equal more cars, and more cars equal more affordable fuel-cell vehicles. Tesla has a lock on the zero-emissions market in America, controlling a whopping 60\% of the EV market. But that’s still only 2\% of the entire US car market.
