EV won the race to market with a viable product. EV batteries burn, but at least they don't explode with as much vigor.
I understand that is a concern. Point is there isn't a "push" to further develop Hydrogen. EV is more viable on the surface level/end product IMO. EV technology is pushed even though they haven't quite figured out:
How to mine for the material/lithium safely and build them to where the net affect on the environment isn't worse then ICE.
oh and do it without being devastating to the environment/climate which they claim to care so much about
oh and having a plan to build a "green" infrastructure to power them (because it pointless if we can't)
oh and the massive undertaking to recycle EV car/Batteries, only after they figure out how to recycle them.
Maybe "they" will figure this out and maybe they won't before the earth is set on fire in 12 years. There isn't a guarantee. EV is the future only because we were told its going to be and not necessarily because it was the best choice when we see this shake out on 10 years.
