@davep There may be a use case for hydrogen, but it's not cars. See real world report here:

@withaveeay Potentially, for HGVs. But beware of the fossil fuel lobby and their Blue Hydrogen bullshit.

The initial article did mention rollout of EV HGVs, but that will always have a weight penalty unless there's a massive improvement in energy density.

@davep TLDR: Yes.

Guys like you are pushing an obsolete idea. BEVs pre-date internal combustion cars. It died over 100 years ago, and what is happening now is just a rehash of that driven by government support. It parallels diesel cars in terms of its outdatedness and government manipulation of the market.
