  300kg of battery -> environmental catastrophe

  The other 1,500kg of car? Made of unicorn kisses and butterfly dreams.

  1. No mined precious metals in hydrogen fuel cells, no… None at all.
  2. You know what all fuel cells vehicles also have in them? Batteries, because the fuel cells changes them and the batteries drive the motors.

  Yes, the batteries are smaller, but you also need the fuel cells catalyst. It’s not a clear win for the HFC car.

  A huge portion of our battery materials come from the Atacama Desert. There is no life at all in a lot of it.

  You do know that we get most of our hydrogen from burning fossil fuels, right?

  Unfortunately they’re both death sentences. It’s either public transport or climate apocalypse.
