    Battery cars were at one point an alternative to diesel or ethanol cars. The problem with green tech is that it is very new and there can be no set standard.

      What are you talking about? Not only there can be a standard, there has been a standard for a decade now and automakers are investing hundreds of billions into their BEV roadmaps along with their current production. At this point in time and for the foreseeable future, BEV is the standard.

        That is just wishful thinking from people who want a BEV monopoly. In reality, the whole thing is a giant experiment and could fail.

          The only way it would fail is if there is a major breakthrough in hydrogen storage technology in which case the existing gas station model would remain viable. Calling the transition to BEVs wishful thinking makes absolutely no sense at this stage of the game.

            That’s just more BS from those who want a BEV monopoly. The breakthrough in hydrogen storage technology has happened long ago. It is only a matter of cost reduction. The biggest weakness of BEVs is that it is a stagnant technology while alternatives are materializing.
