BEVs are great and make the most sense at this time and we'll into it future for light vehicles, no question. Infrastructure is easier and quicker to implement than H2 so it makes sense BEV adoption will move at a more rapid pace right now. It was our fastest path to start helping the climate.
Hydrogen fuelcells are the solution for aviation, shipping, trucking, off grid power, and backup power. Hydrogen is the most abundant source of energy in the world but harnessing it efficiently is the key.
Keep in mind 10-15 years ago much the same arguments were made against BEV's but year over year advancements were made to drive costs down and increase efficiency of battery packs. The same will happen with hydrogen as it's at an inflection point now and countries are investing in the technology along with industry, oil and gas etc.
Also keep in mind that we are already battery constrained and that mining the rare earth metals required for BEV's will become more and more challenging as time goes on and as more manufacturers ramp up their BEV production. Mining is also not exactly environmentally friendly.
I think we'll see good adoption of BEV's over the next 15 years As H2 production matures and costs are driven down it's possible we'll get to a point where we transition to H2 being the primary fuel for mobility.
The world needs a multi faceted approach to combat climate change.
