Question: How long do you estimate it will be before we have mass-produced hydrogen cars?

Thanks for the question, 11mccoa1.

It depends a bit on where you live. In Japan, they’re starting to mass-produce hydrogen cars in 2015. They’re keen on using hydrogen because they don’t have lots of supplies of petrol and gas of their own.

However, in most other countries, including the UK and Australia, there aren’t any concrete plans to make lots of hydrogen cars. That’s why we need to improve the technology, to make the cars better and cheaper so more people will want them! 🙂 My hope is that we’ll start seeing hydrogen cars becoming widely available some time in the next 10 years.
