BMW is hanging in there with hydrogen. That’s what Oliver Zipse, the chairman of BMW AG, reiterated during an interview Oct. 17 in Goodwood, England.
“After the electric car, which has been going on for about 10 years and scaling up rapidly, the next trend will be hydrogen,” he says. “When it's more scalable, hydrogen will be the hippest thing to drive.”
