Lithium is a finite resource... Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe by weight.
I personally wouldnt choose EV. Hydrogen is the future, no ifs, no but's about it.
2030 is a landmark year for the shift.... England wont sell a petrol car after 2030. China plans on 1m Hydrogen vehicles on the road by the same date, Japan has also committed to 800k by 2030.
The problem is batteries... plain and simple.
Japan has also committed to switching some of their current coal power plants over to hydrogen plants as we speak.
Hyundai just did a record breaking test run of a hydrogen vehicle in Australia, off the top of my head 900km (ish) on less than 8kg of Hydrogen. Again dont quote me on these figures, but at present green Hydrogen is supposed to be expensive to produce at somewhere in the $5/kg, dirty or grey at around the $1/kg. Even if green hydrogen is triple at the pump, that $15/kg gets you over 100kms. We are talking testing, and the infrastructure for economy of scale doesnt even exist.
Its an interesting field. To understand why EV will likely be redundant technology soon would take more than a single post, and looking at more than just the personal motor vehicle market...
