Maybe they should've looked into that tech instead of obsessing over hydrogen cell tech...

I still think hydrogen cells are a better long-term solution than BEVs. It's way ahead of it's time considering tbe infrastructure requirements, but I assume at some point after everyone is using BEVs and realizing the comparative downsides it'll see a revival.

The generation is tricky too, vast majority of it is actually sourced from fossil fuels 😑
