The last hydrogen fuel stations for fuel celled cars (I think James May had one??) were shut down this year.

 

Seems there is still a dozen?

Cos it wouldn't be a stretch to just  replace the battery packs with hydrogen packs and the associated gizmo's, if hydrogen ever supercedes lithium batteries in economy.

 

 

Vivaro-e Hydrogen van adapted from the lecky one is  suppose to arrive soon but it won't be much use if you can't refuel it locally in the UK.

Unveiled today, Vauxhall’s new zero emissions Vivaro-e HYDROGEN light commercial vehicle has a range of up to 249...

 

Germany has invested alot on Hydrogen  infrastucture so there might be a better  fueling network  over there.

Think I vaguely remember the one that James May used, moved the station and he bought a newer version of the mirai.

My mistake apparently it was only shell that closed theirs

Still 11 isn't many compared with 57k public EV points and most EV owners charge from home.

That's not really an argument tho, providing it gets more popular the 368 LPG station can be retrofitted relatively easily.

All the local LPG pumps have been pulled out near me.

 

I sometimes wish I still had my LR110 LPG but wouldn't know where to fill it now.

[GarethM]

My intergalactic 1litre LPG Corsa long since went to the big scrap heap in the sky, 3 places locally still selling LPG tho 

 

I'd prefer hydrogen or petrol/LPG to anything electric, the reality is diesels aren't going anywhere.

 

There are a few options for your white van man types, but we all know how towing and weight saps engine power. No free lunch and all that.

LPG stations are  being removed & replaced with E charge points apparently seems dumb as have heard LPG conversions have actually increased recently.

Seems a bit backwards, I can understand adding them to a supermarket carpark as most from my experience were at Morrisons petrol stations.

 

What you going to do for half an hour plus at a petrol station?.

This looks fun

Go have a watch of thunderfoot discussing the Tesla semi.

 

Breaks down the complete stupidity of using electric Vs diesel.
