Has electric killed the hydrogen car? | Bibi van der Zee | Environment | guardian.co.uk: "It might not be dead, but it's definitely on the sickbed. At the Frankfurt motor show this week, hydrogen cars were notable for their absence and electric vehicles (EVs) conspicuous by their presence. Similarly, at the Low Carbon Vehicle show in the UK last week, it was EVs all the way – I didn't see a hydrogen car in sight.
So what's going on? Have manufacturers looking for a green option decided that hydrogen is just too long-haul and that electricity is a better bet? Nissan seem to have taken that route, with senior vice-president Andy Palmer telling me last week that although their hydrogen vehicles are still under development, 'the economics don't work today to make it any more than niche at the moment'."
