  You can use electricity on the grid to charge a car. Not sure if you were aware of that. It’s going to be a whole lot more efficient at it than hydrogen.

    No shit. You know you need a substation to power a supercharger grid…you know how many substations just randomly exist in rural areas to power superchargers? And how expensive they are to build and maintain?

      And hydrogen won’t get you there. It’s much easier to build a substation than the new infrastructure for hydrogen.

        Lol no it is not, do you know what goes into building a substation? They’re expensive and require a lot of upkeep.
