Is This The Death Knell For EVs?

as Porsche says, "No More EVs",


in September 2022, Porsche revealed that it had a prototype hydrogen combustion engine sports car which was for testing it on the famous Nürburgring racetrack in Germany, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume is also speaking about the company’s hydrogen projects, and he says that “The battery-electric drivetrain will be the best for shorter distances, while the hydrogen-based drivetrain will be the best for longer distances”, The fact that a brand like Porsche has switched to hydrogen shows that not everything is going to go through EVs. In fact, others are following the same path, such as Ferrari, Hyundai or Kia. However, this new engine will mark a historic milestone by solving the problem of autonomy and taking thermal efficiency to a new level, something we would never have imagined, the full article is here, and that is not all,

The FCEV is powered by a fuel cell system made by a GM and Honda joint venture called Fuel Cell System Manufacturing (FCSM), based in Michigan, with a range of 372 miles on a full tank of hydrogen plus a further 37 miles of battery range (according to the WLTP test cycle) and a refuelling time akin to that of a petrol or diesel car, the CR-V e:FCEV is built in Ohio at Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Centre, the article is here, as I have always said from so many years ago, Go Green - Go Hydrogen!
