There is no x5 anymore. Those new models just exploiting x5 brand name to push marketing agenda and score sales numbers.

wersy2, 1 hour agoWhat's the point?Batteries is still not as good as hydrogen, especially when it comes to full charge. Also, hydrogen only emits water and can fully rely on renewable sources. By contrast, batteries requires rare earth materials, just like ICE's catalytic converter, and takes forever to fully charge the battery since it always slows down the charging power after 80% charge and beyond. Even BYD's 1.5 Megawatt Flash Charging only works at 10-70%. After 70%, it greatly slows down the power in order not to explode the battery. No such worry with hydrogen since the tank is already made for high pressure fill up in the first place.

Really happy to see both BMW and Toyota still going strong with hydrogen. For an EV, hydrogen fuel cell always makes sense than battery. The fact that it's entirely possible to co-exist or replace existing petrol/diesel station with hydrogen power and hydrogen fill up is exactly similar as petrol/diesel fill up should make it the future. I always maintain that battery is just a stop gap for hydrogen power.
