There’s no way around sacrificing range to heat the battery at this time. Only mitigating some of the loss with a preheat.
That’s what I thought. Not an issue with hydrogen.
If we’re going to be discussing battery vs hydrogen efficiency, we need to be honest about how it performs in real-life scenarios like this. Only discussing EV performance in ideal conditions is providing nowhere near the full picture.
I’m not trying to start any argument about either of them, I’m for getting off of fossil fuels, and more choices to better fit different needs is great. Hydrogen cars have their own issues, such as lower energy density and very high pressures for storing the hydrogen, along with high pressure vessels for transporting it. Energy dense storage is always going to have problems, but the electricity distribution system is already well established.
