"The key problem for hydrogen cars is not the fuel cell but actually getting the clean hydrogen where it is needed...must be stored under pressure and leaks easily. It also carries less energy per unit volume than fossil fuels...Compare nine UK hydrogen stations with 8,300 petrol stations or 31,000 public charging locations (not counting plugs at homes).

"Even Toyota acknowledges that hydrogen in cars has so far 'not been successful.'
