[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16584388, member: 116684"] There will be a point that service will catch up to the electronic cars. The same way you can buy off brand China parts and even turbos, you'll be able to get cheap copy parts for whatever you need. And by that time you'll have third party software options to make things work, the same way people run standalone modules and things like Linux now. They keep building better mousetraps, but the mouse will eventually outsmart them. Hydrogen is being heavily invested in, primarily for heavy and long range vehicles. Toyota specifically still believes that it's going to be the future. The stumbling block here is infrastructure. You can put in a charging station almost anywhere, but there's no hydrogen supply on every corner. We've already got power plants scattered across the country, but not hydrogen plants. Not to mention the hardware is extremely expensive when it comes to pressure vessels and compressors, and it takes up a lot of real estate on the vehicle. I'll also point out that hydrogen also has the benefit of a much faster fill versus electric. With a big enough compressor it can be close to gasoline speed. [/QUOTE]
