As you say, <<<but most people do travel long distances on occasion,
and won't buy a car that can't do that. (Yes, some will, but most
won't.)>>>

It would seem then that the strategic locating of service stations is the answer then. Provided most people who will be traveling longer distances will be doing it on the highway, then it would seem that the answer is obvious.

I maintain that the infrastucture argument is way over blown and that they key will be affordability and fuel storage weight ratios.

As you say, the fuel cell business may be an easy one to enter, but the strategic marketing alliances and the distribution is going to be the key here. That I believe is the DCHT stregnth.
