I think what they are saying is the combination of producing the batteries along with the carbon positive origin of the electrical power is not the clean we think it is. It might create less carbon per mile but it's not the zero emissions we actually see. Whether the result is reduced net carbon, the use of batteries introduces another issue. In my mind a long lived, possibly modular and reusable fuel cell system is the way to go. Continue to clean up the grid generation and set up hydrogen facilities in urbanized areas first. When are the limited-run fuel cell fleets from Toyota and Honda expanding and what was the biggest resistance before the pandemic?
