I've seen a few people have the opinion that electric is just a mid point before we get to hydrogen cars.batteries are terrible for the environment to make and recycle.
But it doesn't really make sense to me. Unless the issues with the batteries are unsolvable from a law of nature point of view.
lithium is a very limited resource on earth,. there really isn't enough for it to be the backbone of our energy needs.
hydrogen is more energy dense. to get a car to go a mere 300 miles on EV batteries it currently takes hundreds of pounds of battery. a compressed hydrogen car will exceed 1000. a liquid hydrogen car would be 10,000.
EV is slow to charge hence why no is talking about battery as a service. to go long distance you need to swap batteries. compressed hydrogen could be refueled like a gas car.
