What nonsense.
Battery power is a technology that is continuing to grow with billions being poured into it from every industry imaginable.
The only people who want garbage like hydrogen are those who want to maintain the status quo of fuel being supplied by a few big producers at a pump.
You're just promoting BEV propaganda. And being a stooge of the Chinese government, the only group that even benefits from BEVs displacing all local car production. It is not a revolutionary technology. It is an obsolete idea from the 19th century. It is a greenwashing scam to think it has any real merit.
Meanwhile, hydrogen is made from water and represent an actual green technology.
What local car production? There is none in this country.
I want a BEV car because I can charge it for free with the solar panels I already have on my roof. That benefits me - not China.
As for Hydrogen... whatever advantages it has are irrelevant since nobody sells an affordable and practical hydrogen car. I'm sure hydrogen will be a viable option one day, but it's not right now or in the near future.
The goal is to eliminate all car companies that isn't controlled by China.
You don't own any of the supply chain that provides the batteries and solar panels. The West barely makes solar panels because China's strategy already succeeded.
No one sold a BEV a dozen or so years ago. People are just complaining rather than pushing for change.
