False is kind of harsh. Perhaps out of date might be more correct.
The trucks in Europe only travel 248 miles before requiring refilling. Your own argument is that we need something that is longer range. Tesla has a 300 mile range on the smaller semi tractors and 500 miles on the larger.
I'm not a hydrogen fan. At this time there is essentially no truly green hydrogen production.
At the same time BEV's were not though possible ten years ago and now are a pleasant reality.
I keep hoping that Sono motors will make a go of it.
Hi PT, lithium batteries have relatively little energy capacity by volume and especially weight compared to hydrogen. Scroll down on this link to the the graph of range vs volume:
https://www.garrettmotion.com/news/media/garrett-blog/hydrogen-fuel-cells-vs-battery-electrics-why-fuel-cells-are-a-major-contender/I’m not concerned with the issues around hydrogen. We deal with reactive substances all the time like gasoline, propane, natural gas. And materials engineering capabilities have never been greater.
I fear that the day is coming where the US will be left behind because the rest of the world may no longer want US LNG but instead wants liquid green hydrogen.
