BMW keeps backing hydrogen fuel cell EVs
Original: BMW continues to pursue fuel cell EVs, but why? https:// cleantechnica.com/2026/10/06/f uel-cell-evs-bmw-suv-ix5-green-h
BMW is pressing ahead with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, including a planned fuel cell version of its iX5 SUV running on green hydrogen, according to CleanTechnica. The article questions the rationale, since most of the industry has focused on battery-electric models amid expensive hydrogen infrastructure and limited refuelling networks, especially in Germany.
Why now: Debate over whether hydrogen passenger cars make sense as BMW defies the battery-electric mainstream.
