Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars

A look at "who is pushing for which technology" might also be revealing. I don't know about the situation in the US but here in Switzerland the situation is really interesting. The H2 proponents are mostly oil and gas companies (refineries and gas station chains). The reason is quite obvious: if everyone recharges at home or at easy to install and operate recharging poles, they are out of business. No one needs dedicated stations, storage capacities and a fuel transport infrastructure for BEVs. With hydrogen powered cars, they can keep their hand on the fuel supply because almost no one will be running an electrolysis plant at home... Also, politicians love it because it's easier to tax hydrogen than to try to tax electricity the goes into cars (and I don't allude that the fuel companies pay them more or give nice gifts! Because that would be wrong, wouldn't it?)
About the electricity use it's so funny! H2 needs MORE (2-3times more) than BEVs! And if it's a problem with peak loads we can use stationary batteries that slowly charge from the grid when there is much electricity available and give it to a BEV when it's needed!
