Test Drive BMW Hydrogen Car

Not that I have ever driven either of the two...........:-)

I personally never have liked the idea of an electrical car. No idea of power at your control, kinda wimpy, huuuummm down the road.........

but this is something I like, you get the sound of power..... Like you are driving, not like you are washing clothes.

Hydrogen cars need fresh water & electricity.

Our planet does not have enough of either.

Why 1/ create electricity to 2/ make fuel to 3/ run a heavy complicated engine, when instead you could just 1/ make electricity to 2/ run an electric motor?

Don't you think the car makers know electric motors are cheaper lighter and more reliable to make & run... yes they do but it would slash their spare parts sales & service profits.

H fuel cells require expensive metals and maintenance.

Electric cars are impractical. They take forever to charge! And battery's are very very very bad for the environment.

However, hydrogen could be free if you had your own way of separating it from water, a wind turbine on your roof for example. Also your are right an electric motor is better but hydrogen powered cars would use an electric engine because fuel cells convert the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and we could use the electric motor that way.

me................

let me ask you something: is hydrogen cheaper than gasoline/petrol? i dont have an idea.

hydrogen is jus water....

It's not water. Hydrogen is a GAS. When Hydrogen reacts with Oxygen it produces a energy that powers the car. THEN it turns into water.

It's TONS more available, because you get it from water when you run a current through it- BUT harvesting it is tough because we haven't sunk trillions of dollars into it like we have with harvesting oil. However with wind farms at sea it's virtually free (not counting upkeep).

However good fucking luck with the crippling of the oil industry.

PROTIP: This tech came out 50 years ago and the inventor built the car to separate the hydrogen from the water IN the car with the battery.

lithium is very available, unlike hydrogen which has to be made from water or fossil fuels
