BEVs are a lot of fun to drive. Car people are nostalgic for burning fuels and roaring engines, but future generations will be far less so. We just need far lighter batteries.

    Lighter batteries, lower costs, quicker charging and way longer range under load. Hydrogen is the way forward. I don't understand why there is so much push back from the EV crowd. EVs are great for city driving, but are terrible for long range and heavy load equipment.

    I was specifically talking about cars that are fun to drive. The one thing I dislike about my BEV is that it's so heavy.

    Personally I don't think hydrogen is the way for most personal vehicle applications. Batteries are improving a lot and becoming quite a bit cheaper too. Also many large car makers have gone the EV route and they are king makers. But who cares, the better technology will probably win out.
