Shell Is Immediately Closing All Of Its California Hydrogen Stations | The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can’t make its operations work here.::The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can’t make its operations work here. All seven of its California stations will close immediately.
Lol that’s not the goal, the goal is to charge a car… you’re finding a problem to solve that’s not even in the same area…
You can use electricity on the grid to charge a car. Not sure if you were aware of that. It’s going to be a whole lot more efficient at it than hydrogen.
No shit. You know you need a substation to power a supercharger grid…you know how many substations just randomly exist in rural areas to power superchargers? And how expensive they are to build and maintain?
And hydrogen won’t get you there. It’s much easier to build a substation than the new infrastructure for hydrogen.
Lol no it is not, do you know what goes into building a substation? They’re expensive and require a lot of upkeep.
And so does your idea; you just haven’t thought it through.
A solar hydrogen station cost no where near the amount putting in a substation does. I don’t even know where you came up with the idea that it does.
Dude, you don’t even have a good grasp of how much hydrogen you could make from the atmosphere. Nobody is advocating for doing it that way because it’s too much effort for so little gain. I’m not going to take your word on much else.

Yep, totally no one is doing it… it’s not being researched or anything, cause it’s not worth it. Yep, miles and miles of over head wires and substations all over the place it the way to go. No other alternative.
