You compare hydrogen within a battery of literally indefinite capacity. That’s a very realistic business case. And we’re going to witness this happening much earlier than anticipated. We don’t…
Both fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are needed to achieve the most significant transition in the automotive industry’s history – decarbonisation. According to the Roadmap towards zero emissions: the complementary role of BEVs and FCEVs study published by the Hydrogen Council with analytical support from McKinsey & Company, a “combined world”, leveraging the respective strengths…
