BMW Betrays Electric Dreams, Sells Out to Toyota’s Hydrogen Agenda
In a shocking turn of events, BMW has announced that it will start selling hydrogen-powered vehicles in four years’ time, effectively abandoning its electric dreams and aligning itself with Toyota’s misguided hydrogen agenda.
The German luxury car maker claims that it will develop a new generation of fuel-cell powertrains with Toyota, but critics are already labeling the move as a desperate attempt to stay relevant in a rapidly shifting market. The joint venture will allegedly produce hydrogen variants of existing BMW models, with the first ones hitting the roads in 2028.
But don’t be fooled – this is not a step forward for sustainable transportation. Hydrogen-powered vehicles are plagued by high costs, a lack of fueling infrastructure, and very little choice. Global sales of hydrogen cars plummeted to a paltry 9,000 units last year, and experts warn that the technology is doomed to fail.
BMW’s decision to back the wrong horse is a major blow to the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. By investing in hydrogen powertrains, the company is effectively shooting itself in the foot, undermining its own efforts to transition to sustainable energy sources.
As one industry insider pointed out, "BMW’s commitment to hydrogen is a recipe for disaster. It’s a costly distraction from the real issue at hand – electrifying our transportation systems."
So why is BMW making this ill-advised move? It’s clear that the company is desperate to stay ahead of the competition, and its leaders are willing to sacrifice long-term sustainability for short-term gains.
