Hydrogen Cars Are Turning Out To Be A Flop. Why?

29 Aug 2024 | Abstracted from StarCarSifu

"Sales of hydrogen-powered cars are sluggish all over the world, mainly due to an impoverished product selection and scant charging infrastructure. Only 5,621 hydrogen-powered vehicles were sold worldwide in the first half of 2024, according to SNE Research, a drop of over 34% compared to the same period last year.

The most spectacular drop was in the USA, with just 322 sales in 6 months, compared with 1,825 a year earlier."
