    ICE cars are being banned entirely in lots of jurisdictions; they’re not going to be coming back into fashion again. And hydrogen is a completely unworkable dead-end technology.

    So what technology is going to power the cars of the future?

    In my view, it’ll be battery-electric all the way, but with the battery cell technology changing over time as replacements for li-ion are gradually developed.

      Hopefully, the answer is also “fewer cars”. We don’t need to replace all of them, but getting city commuters from 5% bikes to 20% bikes would be transformative. Especially if we can also keep the current levels of working from home.

      For starters, ICE cars have not been banned nearly anywhere. For seconds, hydrogen is not unworkable. That is pure BEV propaganda.

      The future will almost certainly be hydrogen cars. They are also EVs BTW. BEV fanatics are just bullshitting about this fact here. In reality, BEVs are not a sustainable idea and are doomed.

      Battery cell technology will change over time. Into fuel cells.
