This is not even a "EVs are better/worse than ICE" situation... you're simply ignoring facts if you think ICE overall is less harmful to people or the environment than BEVs. |

Batteries are warrantied for no less than 8 yrs in the US. Some makes have a longer warranty. Battery performance is getting better with ever iteration. People bitching about batteries are no different than people who complained about fuel injection when carburators were common. The amount which can be recycled will also continue to improve over time. Instead we're getting PHEV's which will be driven around on ICE power most of the time because 2nd/3rd owners won't charge them and automakers get to meet emissions goals. Green whitewashing. H2 fuel cell is nonsensical for a performance brand like BMW.

It's possible we will forever have some number of hybrids, EV charging will get fast enough we don't need to sit at one for long, or some other program. I don't believe hydrogen for passengers cars is the answer, that's it. I can't prove my opinion that they will never work, but you haven't provided anything to change my opinion. Facts are in the last decade almost nothing has changed with hydrogen for cars, there is a massive problem with making hydrogen affordable to fill up with & where to fill them up with. BMW/Toyota talk about a new car coming out 4 years from now, interesting both of them had their own car and decided a joint venture makes more sense, hardly sounding confident. If you come up with anything to change my mind, go ahead and post it.

Whilst Toyota struggled with sales and marketing of hydrogen powered vehicles (HPV's), I like that manufacturers are still exploring alternatives to ICE's and EV's.

Never ending it's a good option, it can happen, etc. yet no ideas on how.

I like when people talk about hydrogen being "the most abundant element in the universe", like being an island surrounded by salt water.

An EV has a battery which will eventually have to be recycled. A battery is physically large and because you can see it the amount of waste must be significant. These positions are illogical.

I am a proponent of public transportation and remote work, not hydrogen vehicles. However, I want research into everything - from FCEVs to alternative fuels to improved battery tech - to continue and I’ve said that twice already. Just because it takes you 10 seconds to plug in your car doesn’t mean everyone can. I can walk 5 minutes to various trains and buses, but I am aware that everyone doesn’t have that option. |

A decade to at least come up with a plan (not a workable solution, just a plan) from anyone on one of the critical issues and yet to hear anything.

Ask yourself exactly how. Btw... You do know that from an energy perspective it would be better to burn NatGas in a hybrid rather than use NatGas to create hydrogen for use in a fuel cell.
