ohh we forgot that every handful of years the Hydrogen cylinder(s) will have to be hydrostatic tested(placed in a pool of water for cylinder expansion), and the cylinder(s) will weigh a "ton" as the result of DOT requirements for safety, and the owner of the vehicle will not be able to do a DIY on her/his own car, so the process may cost one-thousand or two...

It will feel like having to put a new engine in a car every other year or so.

But their is relief!!!! The first five years no testing is required...

To much pain....

Lets do EV all the way...

every 12 yrs.
Battery replacement for a DIY EV can be $15K, at current prices, every 5-10 yrs.

At current rate of advancement, 5 year from now batteries will double performance for half price. Hydrogen cylinders will still be just as expensive.

I would also like to see how many lithium cars people have, have had the need to replace the entire pack all at once. Or just a few bad cell here and there.
