    You need grams of platinum. It is not a big deal. And not all fuel cells need platinum.

    All EVs are as green as their energy source.

    Toyota and Honda have not swapped to a 100% BEV fleet. It is currently what is in vogue, and everyone invest in it. But like the diesel car, that does not imply it is the future. In reality, BEVs are still a niche product and current demand is entirely created via subsidies. The current wave of BEV excitement will not last beyond the end of those huge subsidies.

    Most criticisms of hydrogen cars are just marketing from competing technologies. You shouldn’t believe them. In reality, hydrogen cars will be the cheaper type of EV, and the fuel will plunge in cost. It is the same story as what happened to wind and solar.
