Hyundai NEXO review:
Watch our latest video:
The Hyundai NEXO *is* technically an electric car, but not one as you might know it: it has electric motors providing drive, however the power comes from a hydrogen-fuel cell as opposed to a battery. So is it worthy of a place on our roads, and what future does hydrogen have in our cars? Vicky Parrott explains…

Hmmm looks like 19 years life before replacing the fuel tanks…..still better than the batteries in this or any other al electric cars. But still not as long, on average, of the good 'ol petrol or diesel tanks, with no batteries, en masse, or tanks with expiry dates.
Hydrogen price, hydrogen source are the turnoffs for now. A good vehicle and Canbe a good source of energy if taken seriously and on large scales. As quoted here the fill up price was v high. So ppl won't buy much of these.
Electric cars have an edge here.
There need to be more PHV's that use fuel cells. Then people could buy them outside of areas that have a hydrogen infrastructure and still use them for short commutes before they build the stations.
I think battery cars are a cul de sac, nothing like as eco friendly as we are being led to believe and that fuel cells are a much better long term solution.
Hydrogen cheap in india
666 km in India. Great hyundai
£80 for 400 miles vs £10 charge at home for Tesla 400 miles……..
Love your presenting style and reviews. One of my favourite channels currently 👍
Great car, however £80 to fill the tank is ridiculously expensive. How comes you didn't do a 0-60 test drive?
Don't understand how this channel doesn't have more subs and views, excellent production and a very likable host.
Better stay with diesel
People that speak about the lack of infrastructure and the carbon footprint of Hydrogen are the same that refute Nuclear Power. Small brains.
Do you know when the Jeep Renegade PHEV is launched and can you please review it?
Interesting car. I agree that at the moment it is not that practical. Most hydrogen currently comes from natural gas producing carbon and hydrogen. The way to view hydrogen is that in 10 years it will be produced by water hydrolysis using very cheap solar power in North Africa and the ME and transported in liquified form in the same way as LNG is now or piped under the Med to Europe. Alternatively, offshore wind electricity may become cheap enough to use. It will be used as an energy storage form in the same way as batteries and fuel cells will be used to release the energy. Much will depend on the cost curve compared to other forms of electricity storage.
Norway, a paragon of environmentally friendly car legislation closed their hydrogen filling stations after two spectacular explosions. So no thanks to hydrogen tanks pressurised to 10K psi! Also, those tanks have an expiry date!! (inside of filler flap) So they degrade, which is scary and will make your older hydrogen vehicle very difficult to sell.
Sorry but this has almost all the inconveniences of ICE vehicles. Going to filing stations? Paying tons of cash to refill? Fund mining and extracting companies? That's so old fashioned, I'm surprised the big oil companies didn't invest more in hydrogen. Sure it has no tailpipe emissions but that's about it. With a BEV, you just go in your driveway, plug it in and forget about it, all while using cleaner and cleaner energy and while funding your local energy company or government. Here in Quebec (Canada), we have 98% hydro made by a gvnt owned company which also invests massively in local infrastructures and creates thousands of jobs. Win-Win for the BEV if you ask me…
The main thing that was not mentioned in the video is that the tailpipe emits a corrosive substance that can also cause death by asphyxiation!
Save the planet or save your wallet?
No mention of the source-to-wheel inefficiency of hydrogen? The fact that most hydrogen available for cars is produced by steam reforming natural gas, which has a carbon footprint? The fact that is is actually quite a dangerous thing when/if things go wrong? Not to mention the fact that we would still have to go to a fuel station (owned by mostly evil corporations) to fill up our own car.
The Hyundai Nexo may be a great car. It's unfortunate it's not a BEV. Hydrogen has no future for cars. It might for some other purposes, but not for cars! This should have made clear in this video.
Why didn’t they make Kona look like this? What a waste. £80 for 400 miles? 10000 psi pressure in the tank?! Get this 💩 of the road. No wonder the world is going electric.
The interior looks quite nice
No mention of how much electricity was used to extract the hydrogen in the first place – which is more than you would use to power most electric cars more than 400 miles in the first place, sorry the logic defies me!
Hydrogen IS the future not electric
Hydrogen fuel cell cars not practical, due to fuel infrastructure (or lack thereof)… Not enough fuel stations around, even in "the states." Battery electric is the future…
it is horribly expensive to run
I assume with only a small battery the overall weight of the car is on par with an ICE version
in my opinion hydrogen cars are DOA.
This does not compute! Not environmentally friendly. A bomb on wheels. Uneconomic to buy and run. Hydrogen is energy poor as a source of power. Thanks for the honest review.( Don't park on a blind bend in the middle of the road. Please.)
£80 to go 400 miles? I don't see this catching on…
I really don’t get the point of a hydrogen car. It made sense when EV’s charging rates were terrible. They aren’t any more, it’s a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Also extremely expensive to run. Yes costs will come down, but not enough
a lot of people commented here are not considering stuff like the government subsidies, tax benefits, environment pollution charges, vehicle taxes, inner-city congestion fees, etc. As I'm not a British but an expat in Germany, i don't know the UK system well but at least buying an EV/PHEV/Hydrogen car (i believe mild hybrid is not eligible) in Korea, you can get a lot of subsidies from central and regional government (eligible to apply both separately) which can be up to around 20,000 USD (depends on the energy efficiency, original price, region, etc and used to be even more before), no VAT, no vehicle registration fee, no vehicle tax, 50% discount for highway toll and private parking areas, 100% free for public parking areas, free to charge (thou hydrogen charging stations are still way too limited), etc. More and more countries are adopting such systems to encourage/enforce greener vehicle sales like how Norway has been doing. I wouldn't say NEXO is more energy efficient (when accounting the energy usage for producing hydrogen and high-pressurising) or right direction of future vehicle than conventional EV, especially for non-commercial size vehicle. HOWEVER, when considering all the other variable cost factors aside from original price tag, it certainly is NOT expensive as you think in a long run.
I'm not a hyundai fan nor ever have owned one. Currently own a Merc C350e wagon but i would def consider Hyundai hydrogen model for my next car if the infrastructures are sufficient and more government regulations or increasing tax on fossil fuel to prohibit/discourage owning a conventional engined car or even PHEV (with something like 2L turbo petrol engine + a motor (recuperative with a tiny battery pack).
