This is not at all exclusive to evs, of course. I don't hate evs but I am not enthusiastic about batteries and I do wish to see more hydrogen fuel cells in the future. Unless a new wonder batteries appears, of course.
Ideally, I want to see batteries and fuel cells working together, so I can charge my car at home for daily commute and fuel it under five minutes in a road trip. Preferably in a way that does not spontaneously combust.
I know hydrogen sucks as a fuel but massive lithium batteries aren't that great either. People put too much faith in something that could never come to the market, and even if it does, not in sufficient numbers, there are problems you can't fix by throwing money at. At least hydrogen is here, we know that it works, we know that we can produce as much as we need without fossil fuels and now we have renewables that, because they produce a lot when demand is low, could make its production viable. Yes, there is talk about producing clean hydrogen as a byproduct of nuclear energy but I haven't see it yet.
