Hydrogen availability

[jimbouk]

Not sure if anyone else on here has a hydrogen car....

If so have you been suffering a lack of availability of hydrogen?

Not been able to get any since March.... expensive car park ornament!

Indeed.

I have a meeting with their MD next week.

Just trying to understand the scale of the issue from ‘users’ perspective.

[jimbouk]

Well I’m not driving it there

[jimbouk]

Anyway, back to the original question...

Looks like it is a localised production issue at Swindon, which COVID -19 is not helping.

Just need more refuelling locations in the South West...

I’ll just keep on driving the Tesla in the interim....

Hyundai Nexo, only one spec in the Uk

Innovative clean tech....

Significant difference between buying a car and buying fuel.

If your local petrol station is out of use, it’s not BMWs fault.

Company cars.

Interesting to trial and learn from new potential solutions, some work well, some less so.

Comes as part of the package of early adoption

I remember trying to sell faster internet to tenants a couple of decades ago, very few were interested, they had 56k modems...

I started the thread, re supply of hydrogen, ultimately hoping it would improve…

Well it has not!

Closure of Honda in Swindon removed that unreliable supply and the ITM fueling in Swindon closes today.

So basically the South West is stuffed, Heathrow and Birmingham the only options left.

;(

Can’t see many miles being put on the Nexo….

CoolHands said:

Did you lease the Hyundai? Can it be sent back as the result of no fuel supply? Imagine how much money Hyundai sunk into it to produce an engine etc that is basically defunct as the fuel supply is dead.

It is on a lease, shortly to reach term anyway.

Tempted to buy it at an ultra low price

And so it ends…..

No Hydrogen anywhere in the Southwest…..

Good bye Nexo, less than 10k miles in 4 years.

Great technology, atrocious infrastructure….
