Why so down on Hydrogen fuel cells? Toyota and Honda are already has them for sale in California. The Honda has a range of over 350 miles. Refueling takes 3 to 5 minutes. The infrastructure for nationwide refueling could use existing service stations without the need to upgrade the entire electrical grid. Yes, hydrogen has a few problems but they either exist with other technologies (requires electrical power generated traditionally to separate the Hydrogen and oxygen thru electrolysis) or are solvable ( bulk hydrogen is very explosive to transport and hydrogen has a PR problem due to the Hindenburg). I see it as a step beyond battery power.

I don't actually know. I know toyota tossed in the towel last month on up scaling production. I don't know about Honda. I have read that the cost per mile is higher than BEV's. I'm not really up on hydrogen vehicles. Do they still burn it in an internal combustion engine or is it a fuel cell type thing. I think the big advantage of electric is that it is already in every house. As far as the grid: the average EV household uses the equivalent of an electric dryer more than a non EV household. Just to give you an idea. When we moved to our townhouse we installed all LED lights everywhere and have all modern appliances. We had a stove plug put in the garage to plug the cars into. Our power bill is about the same as the previous owners and we fuel two EV's. Our bill is about 109 bucks per month in the summer with AC. Power is cheap in BC, 100 percent hydro etc. it will obviously depend where the person lives as well as how many mikes you do. We only travel about 12000 to 16000 km a year. Cheap maintenance though. We bought a jug if washer fluid two years ago. It's almost empty but that's the only maintenance for two vehicles for almost two years. (We only had the one since last year though)
