    Perhaps people who only have on street parking, and therefore find it difficult/impossible to charge at home.

      Have no direct experience but from what I saw on YouTube videos, filling an hydrogen tank seems to take a similar amount of time to charge from 30 to 80% a car at a fast 150kw station

      Except that you’re forced to fill always at 100% and because it requires an operator for security it’s not available 24/7

      Maybe it’s better for a freight truck as it would require the electricity of a small town to recharge with those megawatt charger connectors

      Maybe it depends on where you live, but plenty of city street parking with a charger here, not as cheap as using your own solar energy, but still pretty cheap compared to gasoline.

        I live in East London. There’s are quite a few chargers. There certainly aren’t ‘plenty’ in the context of a large-scale switch from petrol/diesel.

        Certainly not entire me to get a plug-in yet
