Why do peopke always ignore the range, and specs, of the three separate car brand's H2 range, when making claims like this?

You're wrong.

And claims of energy loss!! Sure, no loss to heat in batteries? And batteries lose charge if they sit idle!

There is some loss in batteries but like we can measure things and hydrogen comes out way short in terms for miles driven per kWh of electricity in the grid.

No, it doesn't.

How do I know this? Because you haven't even specified where the h2 came from.

There is power generation from Ng, and there is h2 from Ng. Which do you think is most effective?

Ng -> steam generator -> power transmission -> charging loss

Or, Ng -> h2, delivery, fuel cell (fuel cells are highly efficient)
