An article just came out that adding caffeine to hydrogen fuel cells makes them more energetic. Sounds like a joke but apparently it's real and helps with the cost of platinum.
The carbon fiber tanks are a little bit bigger and heavier than gasoline tank, is that what you mean?
They put them under the rear seat now because it's the safest place and they really don't want the PR from a car exploding after a crash, but it's not so big there aren't other places it can go.

Missed opportunity to use "I shit you not" while explaining this ☕💩
If it's true, coffee once again the true fuel source of the West lol.
Shit now my car is going to have a coffee addiction?
Modern car fuel cells use less platinum than a catalytic converter.
At scale they could build the entire fuel system for a hydrogen car for sure in $1k-$2k range.
At this point it's probably a market failure that's keeping it from taking off (the invisible hand sometimes makes mistakes).
What hydrogen system are you talking about? The ones I've seen all involve bulky tanks still, with really poor options for placement.

The designs I saw had like 3 severely limiting other capacity.
