With the latest being Volvo, adding to Ford, GM, VW/Audi Group, Toyota & Honda, all cancelling plans to develop, expand or even continue production of battery EVs, does this signal the end for them?
Ford and Volvo haven't said what comes next however reports state that Toyota, Honda and GM are going to focus on Hydrogen, with the latter pair opting to work together.
Is this the end of the road for battery?
Hydrogen fuel cell tech has been in production cars since around 2007, Honda's FCX Clarity. It showed it does work. Unfortunately I think it came too early. I think if it came at the time the push for EVs started it would have won over BEV. However because it came too early it was shunned and forgotten about.
