    Yes. Battery powered vehicles are heavy, hazardous, and have significant pollution problems throughout their lifecycle. They’re also dependent on grid uptime because EV charging stations don’t store usable power on site (except in some notorious cases with diesel powered generators). Battery powered EVs don’t offer any benefits over H2 powered vehicles, but they help to extend the tentacles of the deleterious just-in-time paradigm further into our lives.
