You might be interested in the Federal push for hydrogen fuel cell evs as the carbon foot print is smaller compared to the overhyped current electric vehicles: -green way to generate hydrogen and fertilizer already found -hydrogen fuel cells have weight advantages over current evs -hydrogen fuel cells are cost economically advantaged to replace traditional diesel transportation in trucking, trains, boats, etc.

Green hydrogen uses about 3x as much electricity per mile than just using the electricity directly in an EV. I'm not sure how that can have a smaller carbon foot print.

A Toyota Mirai weighs more than a Tesla Model 3, so there's no weight advantage.

Good point.

It barely weighs more though. I wonder if the weight increases much with capacity as it does with batteries?
