Elon Musk surprised many by revealing Tesla's strategic shift towards hydrogen-powered vehicles, a move aimed at staying ahead in the competitive EV market. Despite previous criticisms of hydrogen, Tesla plans to launch its first hydrogen car, Model H, by 2026. The company aims to tackle challenges in hydrogen production and infrastructure to make these vehicles mainstream. With only a few thousand hydrogen cars in the US, Tesla's entry promises growth in the market. Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles offer zero emissions and water vapor as a byproduct, making them an attractive eco-friendly option. Although challenges like hydrogen production efficiency remain, Tesla's foray into this technology indicates a hopeful future for sustainable transportation.
