Hyundai Nexo Long Term Update | One Year Later

How has my Nexo been over the first year on the road?

I love my Toyota mirai I’m 20 yrs old and I’m so happy I have had the opportunity to try all these types of cars out. I came from a Chevrolet Volt premium.

That intro had to be the most understated joke ever.

[Mgoblagulkablong]

did you just make the intro jingle even worse on purpose?
still liked the video but why you do this to us lol

[esteban]

Really appreciate the commentary on H2 vehicles in general and pros-cons of each of the energy types.

Almost three years later, hydrogen still faces issues with supply and high Kg prices at the pump.

Thanks for a very good update video. You have a unique skill to provide technical information very clearly while driving a vehicle! Keep the good info coming and drive safely.

[LeoTheShortGuy]

Awesome intro. You made it even better. A million thank you’s!!!! I am going to make it my ring tone.

[hmm]

Did you make the intro worse on purpose 😂😂😂

[MarioDallaRiva]

Thanks, Alex. Nicely presented.
For such a long, busy schedule in a single day, you looked quite relaxed. Is that indicative of the ride in this vehicle?

Were safety concerns an issue? What if you got hit and a pressurized hydrogen tank was punctured? Are they explosive? How about maintenance? If you had a mechanical issue, could you get it fixed by a local mechanic? Are all Hyundai dealers required to have a dedicated technician to fix problems? Are updates over the air? Can a person possibly fill up at home? What is the refill process like? Did you ever have to wait your turn?

I still really like the Nexo's looks, more so than the Kona (which has grown on me). The fuel cell vs electric battery discussion will probably take us into the 2030s (especially w/ no leadership on issue); I believe both have their place. Cradle to grave must be considered for the vehicle, infrastructure, and energy creation process!

Thanks for the thorough review. This is just so much better than today's batteries for long distances. I cannot imagine Thanksgiving traffic with half the people waiting for fast chargers. As cars get better at driving themselves, road trips will replace more and more short flights and train trips even after the pandemic, making fast refueling even more important.

Excellent review, Alex. I am definitely subscribing and keep up the great work.

Love my Nexo!!! Performance isn't needed when commuting. Its got enough power. Can't beat the Incentives

[freddiecarr]

Alex,

Is your NEXO set up for V2G?

It seems perfect here in CALI---fuel up during the day---then let the NEXO power the house and charge the home battery storage system while watering the plants and lawn while you sleep!

3 fills ups over $200 if you owned the car for his trip. The reason the lease is less costly is no one wants something they can't fill up. Very very limited stations in California. Not a vehicle for 99% of the population. 3 fills ups with the model Y would be maybe $40 if that.  
Nexo cost starts at $58, 700. Not cheap and very complicated where repairs would be up the Ying Yang! No way Jose!

[scottkolaya]

$15/kg. wow. It's $36/kg now. Instead of going down as more infrastructure gets build, it keeps going up in price. It's like paying $25/gal for gasoline.

I just drove a model Y from San Diego to Bay Area and back.. I agree with Alex's comments that 2-3 stops are what you need (starting from Santa Clara, I stopped at Kettlemen City and Santa Clarita supercharging stations to get back to San Diego with 25% SOC), but with 150 to 250 kW charging, each stop was about 15 minutes. Maybe Alex has a bigger bladder than me, but i found my model Y hit 80% by the time I finish a bathroom break and stretched my legs. So I found a Model Y road trip was no slower than going on an ICE car.

Hi Alex, I really liked how you decided to maximize productivity by giving us a video on Nexo, hydrogen fuel cell and future of electric vehicle on your commute. Your opinion on future of hydrogen fuel cell technology is very interesting to listen to.

Next time your in LA we can run some quarter miles. I’ve had my Nexo since April 2019 and have had no issues. I really dislike the cup holder situation. Also don’t like there is no memory for seat ventilation, auto stop and the 1, 2, 3 hybrid modes.
