    I can charge my EV in the garage and not have to stand at a gas station in -30. Why on Earth would I want a less convenient hydrogen or other fuel car?

      Because not everyone has a garage, and you still have to use the equivalent of gas stations if you’re travelling long distances.

      In reality, BEVs pre-date ICE cars. They were abandoned because they were found to be less practical. The vast majority of people actually want gas stations and not the reverse.

          I’m going to say that less than 30% of houses here in the UK have a garage/carport etc (either individual or shared).

          Most of the individual garages will be sized to fit an old mini, not a modern car (even a small one)
