Everfuel will close, pause, divest or repurpose light-duty filling stations throughout Nordics, due to lack of profitability and non-compliance with AFIR
Because there’s no real attempt to roll out hydrogen infrastructure and almost all the attempts we’re seeing to paint hydrogen as the future are actually just anti-EV FUD. Hydrogen is the future! … but it isn’t ready yet, so keep buying gas cars for now.
Same goes for nuclear, at least in my country - the political party that’s now talking up nuclear while in opposition didn’t say a word about nuclear while they were in government. They were trying to fund new coal plants. They’re talking about nuclear to slow down renewables, they don’t actually plan to build new nuclear plants. They want to protect their big donors in the coal industry.
Hydrogen fuel cells probably have a future somewhere, but it isn’t in cars. The filling stations are too expensive and the hydrogen itself is too expensive.
Battery EVs are about to pass the range of fuel cell EVs, you know? They can’t actually hold that much hydrogen. And they only fill faster if the filling station has a long break between vehicles - fill a couple of cars in a row and you’ll be there for 20 minutes.
