Hydrogen is the future, not BEVs?
Discussion
Interesting reading in the latest review of the Mirai II, particularly:
'Not that you would understand any of this from our Government, its ministers and its civil servants. Normally I’d accuse them of treating us like a bunch of morons, but here one might suspect something of a conspiracy.
Hydrogen wasn’t mentioned at all in last spring’s Department for Transport’s decarbonisation consultation paper, a recent Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership report on decarbonising heavy transport didn’t once mention fuel cells and one even more recent economic intelligence report from a Cambridge-based specialist did a fantastic hatchet job calling fuel cells a “commercial failure”.'

Strange, when you consider hydrogen has none of the drawbacks of BEVs in terms of range and charging time, just the current poor charging network which is common to both technologies; and that the japs seem to be investing in this big time.
Makes me think our government has backed the wrong horse.
