The average person isn't interested in that. They are interested in saving money, practicality and convenience. That equals ICE vehicles for a very long time. If I had to choose between an electric vehicle or a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle; I choose hydrogen. However I don't even have a car or drive; public transport is adequate for me.
EV’s are cheaper when you factor in the much lower cost of fueling it and the almost none existent routine maintenance.
And as I pointed out they are far more convenient to fuel compared to going to the service station.
But as you just said you don’t even have a car, so perhaps you don’t really understand those points either.
The hydrogen fuel cell automotive industry segment is in its infancy. As I said, in a decade or two, we can't say with any certainty that full EVs will still be around.
keep in mind that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are EV’s.
So either way EV’s are the future, so all you are debating is whether is best to run those EV’s with hydrogen tanks or batteries.
As some one who actually has owned an EV for nearly a year, I can say that I much prefer the Battery system, it’s easy to charge myself, and it’s much easier to roll out infrastructure.
OK; let it rip. 100% EVs.
.
we are , gradually over the next 10 - 20 years.
anyway, I think I have said all that’s needs to be said.
OK; good so we can look at the implication now, with a forecast of 10 -20 years for 100% EVs
Knock yourself out, just try and learn a bit more so your assumptions aren’t as crazy this time.
My assumptions aren't crazy; I have said from the start that we are looking at TWs of electricity and trillions of dollars for the USA.
Now we have to do it in 10-20 years according to you
I think every one here can see your assumptions are crazy except for you.
anyway I am done here for now, I am going to try and get an ink master episode in before dinner, and big brother is on after that.
good night.
Still wondering what the problem with the whole "charge from home or hotel carpark" situation I mentioned is?
Well, I think we have been missing a trick, all EV or all hydrogen, the extremes.
We haven't even discussed hybrids which in my view are more attractive to the non sophisticated consumer, which means most people out there.
Petrol or diesel in the country, battery electric in the city, plug in at home too. No range fear , take advantage of which fuel is the cheapest, no need to be dependent on the oil companies or the electric companies, the best of both worlds.
Strange that a lot of people only see the extremes and don't see the middle ground, like politics really.
I was going to mention this, but the thread is about electric cars, not hybrids.Well, I think we have been missing a trick, all EV or all hydrogen, the extremes.

I can see hybrids being the default until batteries last 12+ hours of driving.
Sorry I think you're crazy thinking we will have 100% EVs within 10 to 20 years.
.
I would take this any day over an electric vehicle and so would 99% of people.
I Thought you took the bus, Hahaha.
anyway I think I will put you on ignore.
