Default Re: The Trouble with EV (or, why hybrids ROCK!)

Hydrogen isn't going to be cheap. Electrolysis is only 65% efficient, and then the fuel cell ends up being 50% efficient (aka, 32.5% efficient)... so 2/3 of your energy is wasted in the Hydrogen Economy. That isn't much better than a gasoline engine which is about 25% efficient.
