Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan have announced plans to join forces and form the world’s third-largest automaker by sales as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels.

Batteries work great in a city, anywhere else they don’t. This is why hydrogen ICE makes sense.
uh, no? Where did you get that batteries only work in a city? I have an EV which I take on long journeys regularly. I can drive for 4 hours (280 miles) on a single charge, then go for a wee in the services and have another 150 miles in the battery before I’ve flushed. I do a 12-hour drive once a year with two brief stops and I love those drives. So saying batteries don’t make sense outside of cities is ludicrous.
Hydrogen ICE is doubling down on hydrogen’s greatest flaw: efficiency. It’ll have some racing applications, but putting it in a common car is stupid as fuck.
Batteries seem to work fine in rural Norway. If you live somewhere warmer and/or with a bigger population or population density than Norway, you should be fine.
Except you’re saying this in the 1930s.
I think most are going with hydrogen fuel cell rather than ICE. It’s more efficient, if also more boring.
Edit: why on earth is this being downvoted? Am I wrong? Are manufacturers working on hydrogen combustion now instead of fuel cell? Because a few years ago it was all about fuel cells in that space. So please, let me know if I’m wrong. For the record, I think BEV makes far more sense for the average driver. But HFCV makes sense for something that can build out dedicated refueling infrastructure and benefit more from rapid refueling, like trucking.
