Almost a Third Would Purchase a Hydrogen Vehicle, Stock Market Convinced of H2’s Potential

Around 30% of Germans would buy a hydrogen vehicle at an affordable price. Among men this proportion is even higher at 38%. This can be seen in a new infographic from Kryptoszene.de. It also shows that stock market players are equally persuaded of the technology.

Women are much more sceptical about H2 technology. So far, only 2 out of 10 would be willing to buy a hydrogen vehicle – assuming attractive prices. This came out of a survey by “Innofact” and “Autoscout24”.

As the infographics show, not only popularity but also demand is growing considerably. More and more people are searching for “hydrogen” or “hydrogen shares” on Google. In June of this year the relative search volume reached a peak of 100; never before have more people searched for these search terms.

Germany Leads The Way in Hydrogen Refuelling Stations

In a European comparison, Germany is undisputedly in first place when it comes to hydrogen filling stations. According to data from “H2.Live”, there are 85 of these filling stations currently in operation, an increase of 325% since 2016. Denmark comes in second place – but here there are just 6 of them.

Hydrogen Stocks Hotly Traded on the Stock Exchange

Meanwhile our infographic shows that hydrogen shares are among the big winners of the day. ITM Power’s market value has increased by 467.5% within the last year. Nel ASA, PowerCell and Ballard were also able to post gains of more than 150%. The performance of important indices such as the Dow Jones or the DAX has been quite different, with share prices rising by just 6.5% and 4.8% respectively.
