People complain that we don't be able to produce enough energy to power EVs... and then they turn around and tell us that we need to use hydrogen fuel cells.

But since 70% of the energy used to produce and use the hydrogen is wasted due to inefficiencies in the system, I always want to ask from where we're getting all of this EXTRA power?

Not to mention that vehicles like the Mral have a large ICE-engine sized fuel cell, need large hydrogen tanks, still have electric motors, AND STILL NEED AN EV BATTERY.

You further complain about the lack of EV infrastructure... and then again want us to use hydrogen??? A fuel with an infrastructure that's effectively non-existent???
