Yes, the main issue in the U.K. is that there are apparently only 6 fuel stations in the whole country able to refuel your FCEV! If you think service stations finding a location on their forecourts for EV chargers is difficult for them, it’s easy compared with storing hydrogen....

And let’s be clear, the hydrogen fuel cell is producing electricity to power the car, so it’s still an EV. The two on the market in the U.K. (Toyota and Hyundai) still have a battery pack, but obviously this can be smaller than a BEV pack. But then the high pressure hydrogen storage tanks and fuel cell have to be incorporated......

It’s great technology, and am sure will become more refined, cheaper and popular. But you won’t have the convenience of topping up at home overnight, if you are able to do so with your BEV, and the supply infrastructure will be more of a headache than the electric chargers are now!

But, like Gordon, it is unlikely to be of concern to me....
