Wow great time to be alive. Imagine the car industry in 100 years from now. Great work Hyundai.

[smashinglollipops]

I remember doing a research project on hydrogen fuel cars in middle school (15 years ago). Pretty cool to see it available now to the masses.

[Terradiva]

Cheering Hyundai for educating consumers about its hydrogen fuel powered engine.

Since long ago, Hyundai has been making electric cars and hydrogen cars together. The reason is that electric cars are difficult for large cars such as buses and trucks. Hydrogen cars are strong and last a long time. Hydrogen is infinite, so in the end you have to go with a hydrogen car.

Wow very coool Technologies and the Hyundai Nexo is very cool verhicle👌

[PropagatingMonsters]

Cool no closed captions, thanks for being accessible 👍🏻😝 I was interested in learning more about this car too

14 lbs or hydrogen vs 2, 000 lb battery. That's significant. By the way, how much do the hydrogen fuel tanks and fuel stack weigh?

[ruddiestmanx]

Are you guys planning on making hydrogen combustion cars as well as the fuel cells?

[KableTdi]

Very very cool. What are the precautions taken in order to avoid explosion in case of accidents?

[prabalpan]

I am very glad Hundai made it. Thank you, thank you very much.
Is this nexo coming india ???
Kindly inform me.

This demonstration was very enlightening. Although how the liquid hydrogen transforms into current seemed too dificult to grasp. I can convert my car with a combustion engine to make hydrogen gas on demand as I need it without carrying any liquid hydrogen. But the fact that there are no moving parts common in my car to require replacement, This new car requires much less. And the electric motors are inside each wheel. But it would be conveinient to have a service vehicle to come top off my vehicle's range instead of find a refueling station before my vehicle runs out of energy to get to one.

hydrogen cars can really ECONOMISE MORE FUEL COST THAN ELECTRIC CARS IF WE MODIFY OUR CURRENT HYDROGEN DISTRIBUTION APPROACH !
The biggest cause of hydrogen cost is that WE TRANSPORT HYDROGEN BY TRUCKS, IT IS EXPENSIVE. Just try to avoid to transport hydrogen by trucks, then hydrogen will be very cheap. It means that NEED TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN ON SITES (WHERE FILLING HYDROGEN), OR TRANSPORT HYDROGEN BY PIPE LINES.
So we need to make 1 or 4modifications :
1/ Distributed hydrogen production on sites : hydrogen filling stations should be equipped with electrolysers, so hydrogen filling stations can produce hydrogen on sites from electricity outlets, instead of just receiving hydrogen from other places. Thus avoid problem cost of transfer hydrogen by trucks. Besides, nets of electrolysing hydrogen filling stations are ideal solution/market for intermittent renewable energy.
It is new worldwide coming hydrogen distribution approach, so it opens markets of mobile small sized electrolysers. Electrolysers are not so expensive for hydrogen filling stations.
2/ Use compressed gas hydrogen batteries with mini household electrolysers/mini mobile electrolysers : small mobility vehicles/mobility machines/mobility robots/mobility drones …, will use hydrogen gas batteries (hydrogen gas battery =hydrogen fuel cell + compressed hydrogen gas ballon 200-300 bar). And each of these mobility machines can be sale with mini home electrolysers, so that owners can produce to fill hydrogen at homes (charge hydrogen batteries at home). Hydrogen ballon 300bar is enough, so that hydrogen battery 300bar(fuel cell +hydrogen ballon 300bar) can guarantee more energy capacity than best lithium batteries, and it guarantees that the size of hydrogen battery 300bar is not remarkable bigger than lithium battery of equivalent energy capacity. Of course 700bar allows more hydrogen storages, liquid hydrogen allows more hydrogen storage. But for hydrogen batteries, gas hydrogen ballons 300 bar are enough for balance of convertion ratio-ballon material-simplicity.
Hydrogen batteries 300bar + mini mobile electrolysers are ideal for two-wheel vehicles/small cars/small robots/drones and for trend of hydrogen mobility devices anywhere (easy to operate anywhere and easy to charge anywhere with electricity).
3/ hydrogen batteries for big station energy storage : Independent hydrogen batteries (hydrogen fuel cell + compressed hydrogen ballons > 300bar) + independent electrolyser is best variant. when excess energy, then run independent electrolyser. When need electricity, then run independent fuel cell. And intrigued working mechanism between independent fuel cell and independent electrolyser. That is all ! No complex automatic control system.
4/ hydrogen filling stations need to prefer using hydrogen pipe line than transporting hydrogen by trucks.
5/ The fundamental science dictates essential truth advantages of hydrogen.
Science : if a chemical energy storage mechanism is charged as quick as producing hydrogen, then this mechanism PRACTICALLY CANNOT HAVE ENERGY CONVERTION RATIO BETTER THAN ELECTROLYSIS PROCESS. Besides, it is possible to adjust electrolysis reaction speed to get energy convertion ratio of electrolysis better than any chemical batteries. The best one of all possible chemical batteries in earth conditions is HYDROGEN BATTERY. All revolutions of chemical batteries, lithium batteries, LFP batteries, LTO batteries, graphene batteries .. are for reaching to the features of hydrogen batteries

To my knowledge fuel-cell cars need also some smaller battery that acts as an electricity buffer, is this true?

[douglashagan]

This is nexo the next generation of vehicles this is far more advanced than anything Tesla has ever seen before this will be the new generation of the hydrogen cell vehicles this is the future not only this but hydrogen cell rockets will take us to Mars before he ever even contemplates it we are light years ahead of everyone else

[Ruhgtfo]

How to get charge in house ? Do they provide solution to charge the car?

[kirkoverstreet]

Able to have a nitro water system at the house?

[rnml]

And when filling up, presumably with hydrogen, what gas stations will have hydrogen pumping stations? Sounds like a weak link to me.

[alesssj]

It's great to see alternatives to standard ICE and legacy fuels (petrol/diesel) but the room for improvement and speed of innovation of BEVs is larger/faster. FCEV requires the same supply chain as regular fuels therefore there's a gain in lower car emissions but the rest remains the same depending on how you produce the H2 to start with. Again, this is better than ICE and it's great to see alternatives, but I'd rather rip the band-aid at once and go BEV where you can generate your own fuel at home. I'm sure Hyundai is exploring BEVs as well.

[alandinsmoorcontractingser]

Interesting. Too bad we have to get old...would love to see the technology in a 100 yrs from now.
Question ...just exactly what happens with those 3 storage tanks when the vehicle gets into an accident and the tanks are compromised?

[skyrover]

What happens with it in a car crash assuming the tanks are getting damaged?
