I’m on my third electric car and I tried going back to a gas car and really didn’t like it. But I rarely drive over 15 miles distance, and a long drive for me is 100 or so miles so I have yet to need to charge my current electricity at a public charging station. We have a plug-in hybrid (Volve XC60 Recharge) for distance, and it has a blended range of 540 miles (gas plus electric). So, we are covered for those rare times we need to drive farther (less than once a year) and both cars mostly live on electricity.

The Hyundai N Vision 74 Hydrogen rolling lab sports car is amazing looking, reminds me a bit of an upscaled DeLorean spots car. This prototype on spec isn’t as impressive, for an electric, as you might think with a 0-60 time at a modest, for an electric, 4 seconds. But this is a hydrogen electric car, so small battery and a cutting-edge Hydrogen fuel cell instead of the massive battery required by EVs. But does Hydrogen even make sense now? I’d argue it doesn’t and here is why.
