    I’m not suggesting. I brought sources indication that this, in fact, is the case.

    Most of your counterarguments are just fearmongering. As if engineers haven’t already looked at these issues before making such claims. In reality, it is the cheaper idea by far. BEV fanatics are just spamming propaganda in order to deny these facts. It is frankly out-of-control and it is a sign of desperation.

        You get significantly more capacity with a pipeline than with wires. You are just obfuscating the facts.

          Still doesn’t make it any cheaper to get the pipeline from who knows where to the station. Much less building the station. And is shell and BP and whomever else gonna run their own pipelines or are they gonna be shared?

            Where does the electricity for charging stations come from? BEV fans never answer this question honestly. They just pretend it will just be green electricity. In reality, this is an extremely hard problem. By the time you figure a way to guarantee green electricity, you’d realize that you’re making hydrogen for energy storage already. So in truth, the solution will involve hydrogen no matter what.

              Wind, solar, hydro, or hell even coal as it would still be cleaner than an ice vehicle. And no we don’t need to store electric as hydrogen, we can store electricity as electricity it’s called a battery.

                You’re not comparing to a ICE car. You’re comparing it to a hydrogen car. A BEV running on dirty energy is going to be much worse than a hydrogen car on green energy.

                Storing it in a battery would be incredibly expensive at scale. The point of hydrogen is that you can store large quantities of it.
