HYUNDAI NEXO FULLY CHARGED

EV Channels Review

Robert Llewellyn test drives the Hyundai NEXO, a second-generation hydrogen fuel cell SUV, across South Korea. He highlights its spacious interior, impressive trunk capacity, and advanced technology, including adaptive cruise control and blind-spot cameras that rival Tesla's Autopilot. The NEXO boasts a 600 km (370 miles) range on a full tank, refueled in just 5 minutes. A key benefit emphasized is the vehicle's ability to filter and clean the air as it drives, emitting only water and cleaner air. While acknowledging the limited hydrogen refueling infrastructure in Korea (and globally), Llewellyn points to growing international investment and the potential for hydrogen to store excess renewable energy. He also explores the vehicle's dual function as a mobile generator, capable of powering homes. The review extends to a ride on a quiet, smooth hydrogen fuel cell bus, showcasing the technology's scalability. The NEXO is praised for its innovative approach to clean transportation, though infrastructure remains a significant hurdle.
