Electric vehicles are being put on the road before there is sufficient infrastructure to support them. Worse, their FORCED adoption is probably stifling REAL engineering advances that could perhaps more easily and economically solve the problem of where to derive the energy needed to produce the power to propel road and industrial vehicles.
Fuel cells filled with hydrogen are still a more efficient and environmentally sound means of supplying the energy as needed, without resorting to sometimes clumsy and inefficient storage mediums like rechargeable batteries, which are NOT a prime source of energy, but only a stopgap measure. Ultimately, batteries will be abandoned except for intermittent use in initiating the operation cycle, then taken offline, to be recharged during the operational phase of the main power generation system.
Hidrogen is not a primary fuel but another storage medium. It is not found in its pure form in nature.
It has to be either extracted from natural gas or extracted from water using electricity. This ONLY makes sense if there is an excess wind/solar energy that cannot be used directly in the electric power system.

The cram down from Brandon and his puppet masters has removed any useful rollout time.
Notice the massive Ford recall of the Mach-E or the
Ford Bronco plant manager, toast.
Dismissal of the VW CEO...
Symptoms of limited beta testing.
No one ever has time to spare, but pushing this hard is clearly not productive. And even less so on large scale.
I have relatives that worked for GM and often drove cars leased VERY cheaply because they were guinea pigs.
