The bizarre part of the cycle, which I get why it's so confusing, is that you're using electricity to print something that later will be converted back to electricity.
I'm saying that perhaps in the future you use electricity to convert (ie: Print) hydrogen to store electricity, but also need another container obtained in some other manner to store the hydrogen (ie: fuel cell).
Long story short, I wouldn't be offended if you think I'm blowing hot air.
I personally think some companies perceive the future means we need to take something we had before and complicate it at a certain level to simplify or condense it in ways we couldn't before. Like transitioning from vacuum tubes to micro chips. Some companies perceive we have to look beyond just the basics of the consumer level with their vehicles for a more sustainable future and to simplify their conclusion, hydrogen fuel cell + conversion + smaller battery. Others don't think that it is necessary to go to that level and to simplify their conclusion, electricity + larger battery. The remainder will mostly be the same.
