When did lack of infrastructure ever stop a new propulsion technology? I'm looking at you, Tesla.
Hydrogen has ubiquitous availability, it means every nation is a transportation fuel producer. A huge win for the world.
Energy to compress hydrogen, requirement for high pressure systems, and safety/combustability seem to be difficult hurdles to overcome.
I still haven't seen a short, simple, fact-based comparison vs ICE for the entire EV carbon+disposal chain from digging lithium out of the ground, to manufacturing EVs and batteries, then recycling them at end of life.
How is the full EV lifecycle, including batteries, any better than alternatives? The only force driving EVs in my opinion is carmakers' profitability, which is 20%-30% higher for EVs than ICE vehicles due to the lower cost of components and labor to produce an EV.
