Doesn’t the hydrogen somehow come from fossil fuels anyway?
I know there are completely clean ways to get it like splitting water apart using solar energy.
But that’s not what was actually happening in practice right?
I was under the impression for the people who bought one of these that they’re tended to only be a single place they could ever fuel up anyway. Like maybe there were a couple throughout California but realistically you’ll never had a choice because it was never popular enough. That is one thing electric cars didn’t have to overcome. Electricity was already available everywhere. Charging off a 120v outlet is slow (I know, I do it) but it works.
~50% of California’s electricity over the last year was sourced from renewables, ~60% from all low carbon generators. The last 50% will not take as long as the first 50%. Electric vehicles get cleaner as the grid gets cleaner. Hydrogen for light vehicles is dead; scrap the cars and move on.

So does a significant part of electric power.
