I drove 1800 miles in a Hydrogen Car

That's unfortunate. I wish you had a better introduction to electric cars than one sponsored by Toyota.
Why? Because as the biggest car manufacturers in the world they stand to lose the most from a market disruption and therefore they have been fighting tooth and nail against electric propulsion.
It might not seem so because, unlike the idiots at GM, who invented the beloved EV1 and then killed it, they do it very smartly and without an unrealistic goal of total victory - they just want to delay the inevitable at maximum.
And as such, they distract, they evade, they misdirect. They popularized the hybrids (which you couldn't even plug in initially and still have a symbolic battery), they distract with the non-solution of Hydrogen (mostly produced currently from fossil fuels and very inefficient energy-wise however you produce it), they tried to mess with Tesla by brusquely pulling out etc.
DO NOT TRUST Toyota!
