Can hydrogen fuel cells replace EV batteries?

11 June 2022
Why are most of the electric cars powered by a battery? Is there a viable alternative?

I am so proud of my tiny country Slovakia and their technicians.
Looks awesome and pretends to be even better.
Trully amazing car.

I feel we should be better off improving the current fossil fuel process in order to reduce CO2 emissions instead of diving into the EV world where every option seems like it needs expensive steps with little returns.

For starters, batteries hate high temperatures and extremely low temperatures. That's another thing that needs to be taken care of compared to Gas Motors.
Batteries do not like impacts and are really flammable and difficult to control when they catch fire.
Batteries tend to die after some years of use and their replacement is really expensive.

So, I dont think moving too fast into EV territory is actually a good idea for now. The technology is green right now and so many options need to be explored first. This Hydrogen fuel cell seems like a good idea to power cities or a house rather than a car.

better question:

do you want them to? can you make hydrogen at home? is it worth the hassle?
