Hydrogen engines just seem like a push for consumers to continue being dependent on fuel suppliers and also parts and aervice suppliers for an overly mechanical engine.
Don't batteries that have set recharge lifespans continue supplier dependency as well? I'm not sure which would be cheaper honestly, having been looking at lithium prices for a while now.
That is true but they should last for 20 to 30 years. Basically the life of the car. Better to make an informed decision every 20 years than be at the mercy of what is available at that moment.
