Wasserstoffautos überholen Elektrofahrzeuge bis 2030?
“Bericht 1: Wasserstoffautos erobern die Straßen Wasserstoffautos sind auf dem Vormarsch und könnten bald herkömmliche Elektrofahrzeuge überholen. Dank erheblicher Fortschritte in der Wasserstoffspeichertechnologie und dem Ausbau der Infrastruktur gibt es in Europa und Asien bereits eine zunehmende Anzahl von Wasserstofftankstellen. Die Autos sind nicht nur umweltfreundlicher, sondern auch kosteneffizienter im Betrieb, was zu einem raschen Anstieg der Nachfrage führt. Experten erwarten, dass bis 2030 Wasserstoffautos einen großen Teil des Marktes für emissionsfreie Fahrzeuge ausmachen werden.”
Summary
Hydrogen fuel‑cell cars are seeing modest growth and new models are being introduced, but major industry analyses and expert commentary indicate that infrastructure remains limited and cost challenges persist. The consensus is that battery‑electric vehicles will continue to dominate the passenger market, and hydrogen cars are not expected to capture a large share of zero‑emission vehicles by 2030.

Liebreich said he was convinced that batteries would still dominate energy supply for heavy goods vehicles – to the point of co-founding a lorry charging company. “There might be some hydrogen in HGVs but it will be the minority,” he said. Even Toyota acknowledges that hydrogen in cars has so far “not been successful”, mainly because of the lack of fuel supply, according to its technical chief, Hiroki Nakajima, speaking to Autocar in October.

- Why have electric vehicles won out over hydrogen cars (so far)? | MIT Climate Portal
Hydrogen has its own advantages. The fuel can be pumped in less time than it takes to charge an EV battery, and it can deliver longer driving ranges. Hydrogen more closely resembles the pump-and-go experience everyone knows from using gasoline. However, that experience would require creating an enormous amount of hydrogen and then moving it, via pipelines or trucks, to refueling stations all over the country.

The process is straightforward: charge the battery from a power source (ideally renewable), and the motor converts that energy into motion. Efficiency is where BEVs shine—about 85-90% of the energy stored in the battery reaches the wheels.
