Government incentives may help to spur interest and sales in hydrogen cars. With a zero emission vehicles, federal and state mandates become easily obtainable. In California, twenty million dollars have been spent to create 100 hydrogen re-fueling stations across the state. Several high profile car companies have formed alliances to develop hydrogen cars. BMW and Toyota , as well as, General Motors and Honda are among the companies interested in working to bring these cars into the mainstream. The automobile companies have become under increasingly government to provide more efficient and lower emissions vehicles. The California effort to encourage hydrogen cars is seen by the EPA as an example for the rest of the country.
However, Elon Musk, probably the greatest current inventor of our times, sees hydrogen cars as a gimmick because of the lack of infrastructure to support the idea of hydrogen cars. Of course, Elon Musk has heavily invested in electric cars as the solution to pollution emissions. The same things about the lack of infrastructure for electric cars were made at the time Mr. Musk started selling his electric cars. With the automotive giants interested in promoting hydrogen cars, there becomes some very deep pockets and influence in getting the necessary infrastructure up and running.
