A smaller battery pack paired with a hydrogen fuel cell range extender, seems like a good compromise...perhaps a 2 kg tank....You would probably only need one hydrogen fueling pump in each charging park location...seems doable..

The best way is to use the hydrogen fuel cell only. 5 minute fillup, you know.

I guess what bothers me the most is the idea of 'engineers' actually taking this stuff seriously. Climate change is NOT the huge problem that we're being told that it is, and electric cars are certainly not the solution to it if it were.

EVs introduce a whole host of worse problems, including mining of scarce materials, child labor, generation of electricity, etc.

When I was in engineering school, we were taught that the first step toward solving a problem was defining it. I have not seen that done in realistic terms yet, rather we are mandating a 'solution' without defining the problem nor studying the drawbacks. Somebody is going to make HUGE bucks backing a project that is doomed to fail miserably.
