I am in the middle of nowhere too often to rely on electric vehicles at this point. Maybe when there are multiple charging stations in every town that can charge my batteries in 10 minutes I will be interested. I don't think I will live that long.

The Nikola semi has a 1500 mile range, with fast refueling. While it is electric, it isn’t battery, rather it’s a hydrogen fuel cell.

Litle problem with Nikola semi
It doesnt exist.

And hydrogen fool cells are not financialy feasible,or advantageous over pure EV

The availability of electricity is widespread. Hydrogen is a cool concept but it still relies on a provider just like oil refineries. You can’t build gas or diesel at home. Electricity on the other hand. If at some point power companies get stupid and raise rates too much people will just make their own power. Solar is getting cheaper. So is storage. It’s kind of a self solving problem.
