One in no way contradicts the other. Conversion of all cars to electric would only add 25% to the grid as a whole. Which isn’t little but isn’t much either.

BEV trucking can do 500 miles which is 95% of class 8 trucks.
Hydrogen has good energy density by weight, but poor energy density by volume (even after being compressed to a ridiculous 10,000 psi). The hydrogen drivetrain as a whole is also heavy and large. This is why a Mirai has the external proportions of a full sized sedan, but the interior of only a sub-compact.
The problem is not just the electricity cost but the inefficiency of electrolysis and its high cost of it. Then the high storage costs and compression costs. Hence why hydrogen goes for $15 per gallon eq.
Well, generally, 1kg of hydrogen is roughly same as 1 gallon of gas. But since hydrogen vehicles tend to have batteries, they operate like hybrids and get similar mpge to hybrids.
What blew up was not the spaceship but the rocket. Most rockets other than SpaceX’s blow up normally.
The rules require in event of a crash, to shut off the electricity. But Toyota asked for an exemption saying that even during minor crashes (non-totaled), their fuel cell would brick perminently so they have to keep electricity going.
When did I say to use the fossil fuel natural gas? It’ll still be cleaner, but I said biomethane. Which is a biofuel and a form of renewable energy.
There is no conspiracy, the one who submitted the petition is named Brian Sparks. A well know Tesla short seller who made the petition on “behalf of people” (his own financial internest)
But again, things that are used once for a long time are not on the same level as something that is consumed. Because the damage spread over a lifetime is different than the damage done every single time.
Maybe in some 3rd world country, but US grid loss is only 5%.
That is relative. A technology can be more environmentally friendly than another technology, but obviously you can never hit 0.
Half whose electricity comes from coal? Here in the US based on 2018 data, coal makes up only 27% of electricity, and dropping rapidly. Early 2019 numbers are showing coal closer to 23%. within this decade, coal would be gone in the US (mostly because it isn’t cost competitive)
The problem with that is electrolysis is a lot more expensive than steam reformation (which is already quite expensive). They would just be better off charging an EV directly with that hydro than inefficiently and expensively make hydrogen from it.
There was the whole thing with if you turn off Toyota’s fuel cell, it’ll brick the fuel cell. There is also the fact that Type IV tank used by Toyota is banned in China for safety reasons.
Honda: What, someone actually wants to buy our useless tech?
Those Germans can’t stop their bad habit on cheating emissions now can they :/
30 miles 1 way is not a problem. Out of 4,177 second duty cycle, 37% is spent at the landfill. Or 1545 seconds, which translates to 25 minutes. on a 350kw charger, you should be able to recharge a truck by 50% at the minimum if not more. Which should be plenty to recharge the commute.
So that explains who BMW made this car for...
I’m pretty sure the Pharaoh would drive an MCV Egypt, what its 2019? Well the Pharaoh is ancient!
