Why Hydrogen power is not the answer

EV Info

Most of today’s hydrogen use is grey; Blue: during the steam reforming process, a high proportion of carbon generated is captured and stored underground. Pure hydrogen-oxygen flames emit ultraviolet light and with high oxygen mix are nearly invisible to the naked eye, as illustrated by the faint plume of the Space Shuttle Main Engine.

Volkswagen’s first two production battery-electric vehicles debut at Frankfurt

Green Car Congress

In doing so the power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and use this to drive the motor. In motor mode the power electronics use high-power transistors to convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into 3-phase alternating current (AC). The range of the e-up!
