Limited infrastructure : One of the most significant challenges for hydrogen cars is
the lack of a widespread hydrogen refueling infrastructure. Unlike gasoline stations,
which are abundant in many areas, hydrogen refueling stations are relatively scarce
and limited to certain regions.
High costs: One major disadvantage of hydrogen fuel cars is that they are
expensive.New hydrogen cars are usually sold much higher compared to
conventional cars. Hydrogen cars are three times more expensive than diesel cars
and twice as expensive as electric cars
Production Challenges : Hydrogen is most commonly produced from natural gas, a
non-renewable energy source, or by electrolysis. Currently, the process of
electrolysis to produce hydrogen is expensive and requires a lot of electricity.
Safety Concerns : When it comes to using hydrogen fuel cells as an energy source,
it’s important to note that storing and transporting hydrogen is more complicated
and costly than fossil fuels. Additionally, as hydrogen is highly flammable, safety
concerns arise. Hydrogen gas can ignite in air at concentrations between 4 and 75
percent.
Unsatisfactory durability : When compared to internal combustion engines,
hydrogen fuel cell systems are weak in terms of durability. In particular, vehicles
are susceptible to problems when operating in humid environments and climates.
