You can make hydrogen using renewable electricity too.

Gas stations didn't exist in the beginning either. Relative to the competition, BEVs are still the most inconvenient type of vehicle overall.

Yes it is. BEVs existed before ICE cars.

And if you drive far enough away from your home, how will you recharge, unless you are going to accept the "standing next to the pump" experience?

Only if you never desire to drive long distances.

You will eventually want or even need the experience provided by a combustion car.

Not everyone has a garage with a charger. And you will need a public charger if you want to travel long distances.

Combustion cars replaced horses without any government assistance long ago.

The solution is to create hydrogen with the excess power. It literally solves the intermittency problem.

Mostly the result of subsidies and mandates.

Hydrogen is already feasible now. The rhetoric against it is no different than when people doubted wind and solar.

Furthermore, hydrogen is quite source-agnostic. You can make it from any kind of green energy. If you insist on nuclear, you can even make it from nuclear energy.

The environment consequences of rare earth mining are severe. There's a reason no one else wants to do it.

The future could be many things, but it won't be BEVs.

At one point in time, only 1% of the grid's power came from wind or solar energy. Such figures do not mean anything about what will happen in the future.

Hydrogen is extremely scalable. It solves the intermittency problem that renewable energy has.

Chinese EVs are subsidized to an absurd degree, as well as being built off of IP theft. They never existed in a form that could be called fair.

BEVs existed a hundred years ago too. They did not catch on back then.

BEVs existed before internal combustion cars. It is not a new technology.
