Toyota at least was getting their hydrogen from natural gas which rather defeats the whole point really.
In order for hydrogen power to be sustainable it has to come from electrolyzing water. But the power requirements are prohibitive since the process is unimaginably inefficient. Something insane like 80% of the power goes to waste when converting water into hydrogen and then you’ve got to find a way of compressing that hydrogen and transporting that hydrogen.
I’m not saying it’s impossible but in a world where you can recharge an electric car in 5 minutes what’s the point in even going to the effort of solving those problems.
