I spent the day at CENEX at Millbrook a couple of days ago. Electric vehicle show.

Interesting discussions and many permutations of plans on display.
Including hydrogen.

My boss in 1986 in BP Oil International was a hydrogen fan back in the early 1970s when he was a Shell bloke. I couldn't see and still can't that hydrogen will be a winner. It's too expensive to produce, too hard to deliver, and the cars are a complex menagerie of difficulty.

Toyota had their beautifully engineered hydrogen car cruising around.

I prefer a small battery on board with one or two motors. Load up on electricity from big, fixed, efficient generators with cable delivery to recharge points.

Such generators can use anything from heavy tars, coal or methane ro nuclear reactors of thorium or fusion kind, with photovoltaics, wind, waves, hydro or geothermal with no CO2 into air using Mqs patented (now expired) CO2 liquid deep ocean sequestration process.

Toyota is barking up the wrong tree. But they do have lots of electric cars with batteries so can easily go any direction.
