    so why buy a hydrogen car again? it cost more and it hard to refuel. I get the same miles for 50 dollar in gas.

    Ppl that bought the car at 60k mad AF. If you have multiple cars- go buy this used. I bought mine used it was marked at 17k, I brought down to 14,500- and got the 15k fuel card. So car bought it self. I share the car with the family- in one month we saved more than 500$ in gas. Where do u think those 500$ will go towards? 🥱

    My 2024 Corolla Hybrid is currently at 45mpg average at 2700 miles. I enjoy being able to fuel up everywhere there is a gas station. This is absolutely ridiculous. Toyota should be buying these cars back. I saw someone selling one last week, and of course they pretended that they had no idea what people were talking about with fuel cost and availability. All this for a car? F THAT.

    1:13 this Camaro is known for having great handling. If I recall correctly John Liberman from Motor Trend went so far as to say "it doesn't compete with the challenger, it doesn't compete with the mustang" due to it's handling. I believe that was during a comparison test where the SS Camaro was compared to a BMW M4, and the Chevy won.

    Thanks for sharing. This is very valuable information. My gas hybrid car gets roughly 38 mpg with a practical range of about 450 miles (60% city / 40% hwy). For a full fill up it'd be about $60. Those numbers vary but I'd guess it's very roughly 1/3 the current cost of hydrogen. A quick Google search indicates gas cars will be phased out here in California 2035 (no new purchases; used purchases ok; driving ok) and all gas cars may be gone by 2050. No matter how you look at it, these numbers are well within most of our lifetimes. It's going to be interesting to see what technology comes out on top (Hydrogen EV, Hydrogen Combustion, EV with super batteries/capacitors, hybrid?).

    My little diesel Jetta gets gets me 500 miles for $50 on my normal commute and i fill up once a month. I can easily stretch that $50 to 800 miles a tank when on the highway. If I'm gonna be paying that much for fuel at least make it a dodge viper which would at least be worth the price to fuel. lol You're not wrong with how insane this is. LOL

    DVD players cost upwards of 1000 bucks when they first came out. DVD-HD was even more. Not long after, you could get them for 30-40 bucks. Give hydrogen some time to fight back the big oil and EV wolves. Once the technology gets a little polished, EV will have trouble competing. Synthetic fuels are very interesting though, so the ICE will be alive for a while longer. Coughfuckevscough.

    Picked up a 2020 Mirai with 29k miles from Tustin Toyota for $12,000. It came with the fuel card because it was “Gold Certified”. So make sure if you are going to get one it’s not silver certified, but gold certified. Love the car. I don’t drive much, so I fill up every two weeks.

    I mean, I feel like I should be thanking this guy. If there was zero adopters, it wouldn’t expand. If we want a future where we would use an abundant resource like Hydrogen, we should do whatever we can to increase adoption as consumers. If we can’t do anything ourselves, we should be cheering on consumers like this for thinking big.

    They need to bring down the price of hydrogen to make this fuel more competitive & economical. Maybe the government can help subsidize the cost of the fuel until hydrogen goes mainstream.

    For future growth, FirstElement Fuel (aka True Zero) has said that they are holding off building new stations until the LCSF prices rise. Current date for LCSF meeting to authorize changes is this November with anticipated implementation in 2025. The problem with the reliability with stations is twofold. (1) The older stations, such as the single dispenser True Zero stations, all the Air Products stations, and the Torrance station, are older design from over 10 years ago. At that time, it was the first generation to fill the few fcevs that existed. It was the cheapest way for the developers to build at that time (2014-2019). These stations now have a difficult time to fill at the high rate with the high number of cars now on the road. (2) Second generation equipment, such as True Zero's Linde LH2, multi-dispenser stations and Nel Hydrogen equipped stations (new Iwatani stations, like Seal Beach, and the seven Shell stations that have since closed) have not operated at the capabilities that they were suppose to. Those of us who were around when the Linde equipped stations were deployed from 2019 to 2021 saw continual failures (Air Products failure to adequately supply hydrogen did not help). An upgraded version started to be used with Costa Mesa - Bristol station which was more reliable, but they also failed too often. Some may not believe it, but the True Zero stations are now very reliable, compared to what we were initially seeing. Plus, when True Zero switch hydrogen suppliers from Air Products to Air Liquide in May, 2022, shortages at the LH2 stations are now infrequent. Due to the problems that FirstElement Fuel (FEF) had with equipment, they have pivoted to not rely on single vendor solutions and have been working to develop their own solutions. They have worked with both Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Bosch Rexroth to come up with reliable cryopumps to be used at their future stations. FEF has their own factory in Santa Ana. All this development and all the technicians they have had to hire to keep the existing stations up and running, as well as the low LCSF prices, have been the cause for the $36/kg that is charged at the dispensers. With regards to Nel Hydrogen, when the seven Shell stations were open, they had a hard time keeping the equipment operational. Iwatani is having problems and even though six new stations have been completed, only one station, Corona, is currently open for only 7 hours during weekdays as they try to find fixes/upgrades. Iwatani has filed suit against Nel Hydrogen claiming that many parts used in their station equipment is sub-par and is keeping Iwatani from operating their stations. My guess (and hope) is that in 2025 LCSF prices will rise and FEF will start deploying new stations with newer more reliable equipment. Also, I am hoping, that Iwatani will have a solution for their Nel Hydrogen stations and will open the six completed stations and they will continue to deploy their new stations.
