I wonder if hydrogen is a better solution for commercial vehicles or semis that need to haul. I'm not aware of how they would perform, but EVs are not very practical for medium and heavy duty use

Yeah, we’re going to need hydrogen in places where batteries won’t scale. I don’t think we know where that is, but I have a hard time picturing batteries for construction or farming equipment … ever.

Several companies have BEV semis under test so we should soon have better real world data on where batteries currently work for trucks, and batteries get better every year
