A number of things to correct here: - Availability dates: Well, a history lesson for you….technically, yes, Honda did start producing an FCX Clarity in 2008 in Japan, and first available there. However, this was essentially a run of demo vehicles with a very limited number of people that

You may disagree, but they did give some reasons why someone might choose one over another. To a question “Is an FCEV or a BEV the better choice for a consumer?” The answer is “it depends.” - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On Aug 23, 2021, at 4:53 PM, Peter VanDerWal via EV

A few responses: FCEVs are certainly earlier stage than EVs. Costs are coming down quickly. But to the consumer, FCEVs aren’t necessary more expensive. For the cost of a Tesla S, the only one out when I bought my first FCEV, I could buy at least two FCEVs, taking into account factory and other

Drivel mostly. She compares energy density, but completely ignores the weight of H2 tanks, fuel cells, batteries, etc. on the FCEV. Once you add those in the differences are negligible. She lists the speed advantage of refueling, but glosses over the fact that if you not close to one of the
