    Electricity has the advantage of being cheap to produce while Hydrogen is not (which is what I commented on in the last post that you guys still haven't addressed yet). Electricity is also quite easy to tap into. Trucking Hydrogen around doesn't really seem like a long term answer does it?

    No comparison to the 'Tesla supercharger network'. Teslas can be charges where there's electricity, right? Which is everywhere. A home charger solves all kinds of charging issues. No home H2 fueling in the foreseeable future..

    And hydrogen is not an energy source, it's a conduit. Generating it takes energy, either electricity which could much more easily be used to charge a cheaper EV, or natural gas, which puts a big dent in the GHG benefits (electricity too, depending on the source).

    That's number three in the series...
