The economic point of view related to stations and infrastructure

Would the technology of infrastructure be needed for hydrogen distribution and the fuel stations would be somewhat the same as fossil fuels, so FC car are ahead in this aspect, right?

I think that before Henry Ford started massive production of combustion engines it was impossible to imagine that gas station will be on every corner. I mean that nothing is impossible if there is a political will or will. It is only a question of money and time. Even completely new infrastructure can be built. In case of hydrogen fuel it is as you said. I also think that the current infrastructure can be used or redesigned. However, we need three or even four infrastructures:

1) Gas station for cars that use normal combustion engine
2) CNG gas station, we have it here in the EU but it is not so often you can use it perfectly
3) Hydrogen infrastructure
4) Electric infrastructure for electric cars

I think that at the beginning of the hydrogen cars the point 2 (which is also often connected to point 1) needs to be improved for CNG and hydrogen use at the same time and increase the density in this network. So yes, redesigning the current network.

For electric infrastructure you do not need to do much. Slow charge of electric car you can at home in your garage. For fast charging you need a special charging point (which is not also complicated). However, what is the problem is the capacity of the electricity network. So far so good and even in my country we have some reserve but using electric car the capacity of the electricity network will be very fast fast. New power plants and stronger transfer network is necessary.

What is important in the first sight out of or from the customer. For electric cars the infrastructure is already done if we talk about slow charging in your garage at least and it is also a problem to build fast charging point. That is also the reason why electric cars are leaders in the “battle” now. Simply it is possible to use electric car in contrast to the hydrogen car which is impossible to use today.

However, when the electricity network is going to be depleted there is a cross junction: We are still improving the electricity network or simply take the hydrogen technology and redesign the current network for gas / petrol and so on. This is the time when the fuel cell technology comes up in a wide range. It can be stabilized in the same way as the current one between the petrol engine and the diesel engine: the electric car is cheaper with the shorter range while the car is more expensive but with longer range.

Second big reason while FC is not used in worldwide is that the catalyst is not cheap and when it is started to produce in massive range, the price will increase due to limited sources.

So to answer your question it is not easy to say. The economy of this problem is still developing. Actually, it depends on our work, how good we are. I can say that I thank electric cars for giving us time to fix all the remaining problems in FC and make it ready when it will be needed and completely necessary.
