Who said hydrogen is not for cars?

   If anyone can make it, it will be Toyota.   Toyota has the funds and dedication to pull it off. No idle talk.    

    "During this record-breaking run, the Toyota Mirai used just 0.55kg of hydrogen for every 100 kilometers it covered. Toyota claims that the hydrogen used for the record run is completely green"

Can Elan Musk sell his cars in India?

 There are enough billionaires and untold millionaires to buy cars in India, including Elan Musk's. It will definitely help to reduce pollution. There are already EV's manufactured in India. I have seen one in my neighbors since 2014 or so.

There are lots of other moneyed folks who can afford. 

I hope that he can make a slightly smaller foot print car. The roads are congested. I further suggest that his cars do not violate animal rights, otherwise he will be asking for trouble. You need to share roads with cows, dogs, and sometimes donkeys.

I really suggest he delays ambition to see driver-less cars.

Perhaps, he should take up my bet, and if he succeeds, then he may.

The bet is here:

In my opinion, India should straight away go for hydrogen cars by side stepping the lithium battery nightmare. Our landscape is already littered with the auto-industry debris. I do not like to see discarded not working batteries on the side streets.

Really, should you go for just electric cars?

You may not be seeing hydrogen powered vehicles on the roads yet, but they are sure to be here starting this year. I am an electric engineer and I have no quarrel with battery driven vehicles but I think hydrogen is the way to go. It is way, way cleaner. Did anyone speak of chemicals used in batteries; disposal of used batteries; cost of building facilities, etc. Hydrogen fueled cars are much better and you will see a lot of traction in the coming years.

Toyota started the ball rolling and already there is quite a bit of traction in Japan and soon it will be everywhere with most manufacturers joining the bandwagon (well who wants to be left out). Now quite a few have come up with their own concepts, models, whatever.

Watch this video of Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell car at the Tokyo Motor Show 2015.

Toyota plays the trump card

Well, all electric vehicles will be history within the next 10 to 15 years as people and governments begin to realize that perhaps hydrogen is the way to go and any toxic material is a no-no.

Toyota came up with a hydrogen powered car very aptly called MIRAI (future) not too long ago and promising to sell in USA.

Now that has become a reality with real dealers (8 in California alone) with real telephone & addresses to call and place orders. They should be available soon starting October 2015. In 2015 you may not see more than 3000 but is sure to pickup as realization sinks-in.

Here is a video (as well as the picture above) from Toyota on Toyota's press room site:
