Re: Hydrogen? Seriously?

"Except that we don't have the charging infrastructure in place, nor the grid capacity to cope, if all vehicles were electric powered."

See other posts, there are more charging stations that the public can access in the UK than fuel stations.

Grid capacity would not be a problem either.

"Electrical battery technology is one of the most polluting and least efficient ways of powering a vehicle, when you take into account both the manufacture and later disposal of the batteries, and the low working lifetime."

Completely untrue and debunked many, many times over. The batteries of a new Tesla for instance are likely to do over 400,000 miles and all get re-purpose/recycled. Even the old poorly made Leaf v1 batteries are reused once they are no good.

I have no idea where you get the idea they are most polluting and least efficient? That is just ridiculous.
