@cjd@pkteerium.xyz EVs totally suck at long distance long haul heavy road transport. Hydrogen ICE is far superior and more efficient than either battery or HFC in that sector. Also the claims about battery tech are over hyped. Batteries have always sucked and still do, except for atomic batteries.

> Hydrogen ICE H2 tanks cost 7$/kWh Batteries cost 50$/kWh Sodium batteries are predicted to hit 20$/kWh New higher density sodium batteries might be expected to hit 14$/kWh So it's very unlikely that batteries will remain more expensive than tanks for another decade - and that's why nobody is investing seriously in H2 technology. It's pretty much either battery, or diesel (and wait for battery to improve) > except for atomic batteries Power output on those is trash so they're really only useful for niche stuff like pacemakers.
