But the main concern is that ammonia burns slowly. It might work in power plants but not in EVs
The lower explosive limit of hydrogen is ~4%. By comparison the 300 ppm immediate danger to life and health threshold of ammonia is .03%.
It is intrinsically dangerous, i.e. without a source of ignition, at concentrations 2 orders of magnitude lower than the LEL of hydrogen.
Not every hydrogen leak is a concern, but just about every ammonia leak is.
The established OSHA 15 minute exposure limit for ammonia is 35 ppm, 8 hours is 25 ppm.
