Why BMW Is Still Betting Big On Hydrogen Cars - BONUS EP!

InsideEVs - Electric Vehicle News — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Hydrogen-powered cars have never quite gotten off the ground. But BMW thinks the new iX5 Hydrogen coming in 2028 can change that.

On this special episode of the InsideEVs Plugged-In Podcast, brought to you in partnership with BMW, Patrick and Tim sit down with Dr. Michael Rath, the automaker’s VP of hydrogen vehicles.

They discuss the history of hydrogen-powered cars—from BMW’s first effort in the 1970s to its 12-cylinder engine that ran on liquified hydrogen to the iX5 Hydrogen going on sale soon. Dr. Rath explains why BMW is still betting big on hydrogen as a zero-emission option for people who can’t conveniently charge a conventional battery-powered EV.

The guys also ask about the challenges facing hydrogen fuel-cell EVs. What would it take to build out hydrogen fueling infrastructure in a major way? Will fuel-cell EVs ever be as popular as battery-powered ones? Are commercial vehicles the best application for this technology?

Stick around for this fascinating conversation about the future of BMW’s hydrogen-vehicle efforts.

TechTalk with AVL Electrification – The Race of Technologies

InsideEVs - Electric Vehicle News — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 06:00:00 +0000

Welcome to a new mini-series from InsideEVs investigating the technical side of electrification. For Episode #1 we ask what the future could look like. Matthias Brendel, Business Field Leader Electrification at AVL, provides exclusive insights into the various forms of electrification.

What are the current technologies which are realistic options and will there be one 'winner' or will we end up with a mix of technologies? Can there be several winners based on use-cases? What are BEVs up against to match the efficiency of combustion, and the energy stored in fossil fuels? How energy dense are batteries and how much more is there to come from battery storage technology?

For answers to these and other questions listen to the new [@InsideEVs] podcast series presented by AVL.
