I wonder who will provide the hydrogen refills - Ineos? As a nation we are having problems installing EV recharging points with enough ooomph to challenge fossil fuels time wise so Hydrogen will redress the time to refuel issue BUT IIRC there are less than 10 places in the UK where you can currently refuel your Toyota Mirai.
Correction there are 11 hydrogen fuel stations in the UK, most within the M25 / southern England and two in Scotland (both in Aberdeen!) , none in Northern Ireland - 2 in Wales closed down…….. And look at the price of the stuff £10/kg, imagine what a Land Rover dealership’s mark up would be on that……… as they do. Data from here https://www.drivingelectric.com/your-quest...ng-station Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

I'm lucky and have 2 within 16 miles of where I live and interested. Hopefully the range will allow for a good 450 - 500 miles on a tank full. 2020 Defender 110 SE 240D: Fuji White.

It's chicken and egg though, isn't it? Much like EV charging points, hydrogen infrastructure will evolve if and when it looks like vehicles will exist to use it. I can see the early adopters being fleet users of larger vehicles such as busses and lorries where they return to a base that can support its own fuel station. Enterprising fleet users will then sell to the general public when the demand arises. Darren
