Recently, a new type of power system, called a fuel cell, has emerged in the new energy electric vehicle industry.
As two new types of environmentally-friendly vehicles that have not been put on the market for a long time (EV is marketed in Mitsubishi's MiEV in 2009, it has been 6 years since now; FCV was put on the market in December 2014 with Toyota's MIRAI, which is still 1 year) To evaluate its pros and cons, at least consider the following points:
The difficulty of social popularization
The emergence of a technology in other alternative technologies depends not only on the advancement of the technology, but also on whether more manufacturers can use this technology for production and scalable R&D. Because technology can continue to expand and develop only after entering the market, it can continue to gain new vitality. Only in this way can we gain more consumers and enable the technology to occupy the market and continue.
At this point, in the home video recorder market, the VHS and Betamax specifications, the recent smartphone operating system, AndroidOS vs. WindowsPhone, does not imply this.
On the other hand, even if a certain technology is "advanced" and has a high technical content, it can only be a golden spring. If you can't get the support of a large number of manufacturers, or have the capacity to meet the needs of society, you can't dilute the R&D costs. If the price is high, it can only lead to the respect of consumers, and finally lead to the demise of the technology.
Comparing EV to FCV will also reveal this problem.
The advantage of EV is that it is simple in structure and low in research and development cost. After improving the driving system of the traditional automobile, it is possible to achieve results, so it is easy for emerging manufacturers to enter. Nowadays, not only traditional auto manufacturers and emerging manufacturers have entered the EV R&D field, but many emerging companies have achieved remarkable results. For example, Tesla in the United States and BYD in China are all manufacturers in the non-traditional automobile industry. In China alone, according to reports, there are many such manufacturers and dozens of brands.
