Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars

I charge my BEV from my rooftop solar. (I also have batteries for nighttime electricity.) One-time cost for the solar installation and now all my electricity for my car and my home is free. Forever. I don't need a charging station because I plug in at home. The reason H2 is a boondoggle is that although H2 CAN be produced by electrolysis from chean electricity, virtually ALL the H2 you put in your Mirai today is made from fossil fuel. It does NOTHING to reduce carbon emissions. And in order to sell Mirai, Toyota has to give away H2. Tesla and Nissan and GM are selling every BEV they can make, but Toyota has to give away fuel to get people to drive their FCEV. FCEVs are nothing but an excuse to keep using carbon-producing fossil fuels to make the H2. Yes, they've got some greenwashing projects going on to make a minuscule amout of H2 from electricity, but it's far more efficient to use green electricity directly in a BEV than to waste it inefficiently on electrolysis. 

There are certainly important uses for H2. A big one is making anhydrous ammonia for fertilizer, and there are industrial uses for it. But the push for FCEVs is a push for continued fossil fuel use because that's where today's H2 comes from.

One last note: It's true that if every car on the road became a BEV overnight the grid could not handle it. But that cannot happen. It takes time for new cars to replace old ones, and in the 20 or 30 years it will take to convert all the cars to electric, the grid can be upgraded for capacity and switched over towards green electricity. (Well, maybe except in California where a corrupt and incompetent utility company has neglected repairs to its equipment and let it run down to the point where it's setting fires all across the state.)

I fear that you've let Toyota's sponsorship color your view of the newest way to continue fossil fuel transportation: hydrogen.
