Hydrogen is very hard to handle, unless they change the Natural Gas network for Hydrogen then its an very long roll out.

The problem is its NOT that much lighter than an EV..........

i keep thinking that bev's are not the right solution, but that hydrogen might be. i hope the ifam project works out. i assume the weight of such a system would be much less than lithium batteries. also something like that might provide energy storage for wind and solar

Mike, I found some news about hydrogen vehicle fuels.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM in Dresden has developed a magnesium paste that can carry hydrogen as a fuel.
It has a great energy density and is safe to handle at room temp and standard atmospheric pressure.
When it's heated above 250 C in the presence of water it liberates hydrogen gas, very convenient for a fuel cell.

Here's a link https://www.fraunhofer.de/en/press/r...-scooters.html

If it proves practical and economical it would sweep away all the problems of trying to use high pressure hydrogen gas for vehicles.

Very promising.
