In addition to the thin fueling station network, there is another reason for the as of yet low demand for hydrogen fuel cell cars: they are relatively expensive to buy. The few models of fuel cell vehicles already available on the market cost around USD 80,000 for a mid- or upper-mid-range vehicle. That’s almost twice as much as comparable fully electric or hybrid vehicles.

In addition to the cost of purchase, operating costs also play an important role in the cost-effectiveness and acceptance of a propulsion technology. In hydrogen fuel cell cars, these costs are not least dependent on the price of the fuel. At present, 1 lb (0.45 kg) of hydrogen costs around USD 14 in the U.S., as compared with USD 4.80 in Germany (this is the price the H2 Mobility partners have agreed on). An FCEV can drive about 28 miles (45 km) on 1 lb (0.45 kg) of hydrogen.

The cost per mile of running hydrogen cars is therefore currently almost twice as high as that of battery-powered vehicles charged at home. Rücker expects these operating costs to converge: “If the demand for hydrogen increases, the price could drop to around USD 2.50/lb (USD 5.60/kg) by 2030.”
No hydrogen distribution infrastructure, or pressurization nessacery with the technology developer by by Plasma Kinetics, that stored the hydrogen in a thin film of special plastic and then it is released in the vehicle for use by the hydrogen fuel cell when it is hit by a laser.
" Plasma Kinetics proprietary nanophotonic material absorbs hydrogen at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature. The material absorbs metric tons of hydrogen in minutes. Hydrogen is released by controlled light at 99.99+% purity. "

" PK's system is safe, clean, and scalable and holds more energy than a lithium ion battery, costing less, and recharges in 5 minutes."

It's exciting news, How it develops it's anyone's guess. Watch the video I provided on my previous post.,

By the way, Sandy Monroe is well respected in the industry and not some crockpot.
