If you get tied up in a discussion on why we should support fuel cell cars when battery cars are doing so well, take a look at this well written article in TheDrive. Just this tidbit should want to make you read it:
"Proving Freud’s narcissism of small differences, battery evangelists occasionally condemn hydrogen’s heretically-low efficiency at converting zero-carbon electricity into motion, overlooking the nature of scale. This is like an entomologist mocking mammals for lacking the strength of the mighty dung beetle — as if five-tonne cockroaches and fifty-foot lobsters are only a few mutations away."
We certainly hope the future does not entail 5-ton cockroaches!
Batteries and hydrogen fuel cells are widely seen as competitors, but nature can explain why there's plenty of room for both in the fleets of tomorrow.
