For a diesel truck, range is 1000 miles per 5 minutes or so. Even gasoline cars are like 500 miles per 5 minutes...
Just saying.
And battery EV is just one of the many future transportation options, happens to be Tesla's only business and VAG's only bet.
Hydrogen fuel cell EV is still in it's infancy, just like battery powered one was, but for mass conversion it's so much easier to implement. Doesn't take much to convert existing gas pumps to hydrogen pumps, and there is no extra drain on the highly stressed already electric grid, fill up time is on par with gasoline also. Oh, and there is no need to use child labour to mine lithium or 3rd dictators dictating the terms to the rare earth minerals needed for lithium batteries. And hydrogen is the most abundant substance in the universe, it will never runs out..........
Funny how these future propulsion alternatives are playing out just like the BetaMax vs VHS. Could battery EV be the BetaMax of this generation? Perhaps. Japanese are one of the most clever manufacturers, and none of the Japanese car makers are committing 100% to battery EV.
Some might argue they are late to the boat, but could it be that they knew something beforehand? Toyota is the first to introduce hybrid cars, they KNOW electric drivetrain, it would have been so much easier for them to go straight to battery powered EV, but they don't.
The next few decades will be fun to watch the blood bath in the car business.
