do you actually know how hydrogen power works? hint: its not just chucking water into some sort of hydrogen engine
You're just promoting BEV propaganda. And being a stooge of the Chinese government, the only group that even benefits from BEVs displacing all local car production. It is not a revolutionary technology. It is an obsolete idea from the 19th century. It is a greenwashing scam to think it has any real merit.
Meanwhile, hydrogen is made from water and represent an actual green technology.

Hydrogen is electrolyzed from water. It is basically a battery made from water. It is a much better idea than a battery made from expensive metals that have to be mined in vast quantities.

and you must surely be aware that there are significant challenges in making this a commercially viable consumer technology, right?
im not anti hydrogen at all, its actually one of the main reasons i invested in FMG, but being against electric cars because you think hydrogen is better is frankly weird given that electric cars exist now and are starting to become more affordable for everyday people

There are challenges to every technology. But on the whole, hydrogen cars are a "solved" problem. We can all switch to them if we wanted to. The problem is BEV propaganda making shit up against hydrogen cars. This is really an attempt to block progress.
BEVs are a very limited idea. Not everyone can own one. The grid is not setup to handle hundreds of million of BEVs charging. And the resource requirements make them effectively unsustainable in their own right. So in reality, it's time to scale back our obsession for BEVs. If for nothing else, so we can have a backup option. The last thing we want is a BEV monopoly.

What local car production? There is none.
I want a BEV car because I can charge it for free with the solar panels on my roof. That benefits me not china.

The goal is to eliminate all car companies that isn't controlled by China.
You don't own any of the supply chain that provides the batteries and solar panels. The West barely makes solar panels because China's strategy already succeeded.
No one sold a BEV a dozen or so years ago. People are just complaining rather than pushing for change.
