In the circumstance that we wanted to deal with climate change, local air pollution and inefficiency of ICE, but didn't have modern battery tech available.

If we somehow magically knew that we'd hit a physics limit with battery tech over a decade ago, hydrogen for personal vehicles would be a good range extender option and worth rolling out the infrastructure to support.

And bear in mind, basically every FCEV containts a small battery BEV at its heart.




I thought hydrogen was still difficult to handle and store. Is that information out of date?


Gasoline is difficult to handle and store too. It can cost over a million to remediate a single gas station, totaling billions across the US.
