> The study was conducted back in 2007, a time where fuel cell cars basically didn’t exist yet. I suppose this does qualify as “existing,” but it is not real world and is clearly wrong as of today. The first study in the linked article was conducted in 2010. FWIW, Honda's study (which is the only one I can find a source for that claims 60% tank-to-wheel) was conducted in 2008. > Fuel cell cars today are at 60% regardless. Source? Ideally to an independent, real-world study. The EPA MPGe ratings have strongly disagreed with you that hydrogen is comparable to BEVs, as have the studies I've linked, so I'm curious where this 60% real-world claim is coming from. > This is also hard to dispute, since a 35% efficient fuel cell car cannot approach 68MPGe. EVs are generally able to get up to 77% efficiency in real-world usage, per the link I posted above. The Tesla Model 3, the most-efficient sedan in 2020 according to the US Dept of Energy [1], gets 141 MPGe. If we assume the Model 3 is 77% efficient, that leaves the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell (which is rated at 68 MPGe) at approx 37% efficient, since MPGe is strictly a measure of average distance traveled per equivalent unit of energy used [2]. Better than pure gasoline, sure, but it's still pretty far from a BEV. Even hybrids get decently close to hydrogen; the Prius, for example, gets 56 MPG. BEVs absolutely smoke both in terms of efficiency. 1: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/topten.jsp https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/topten.jsp 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_per_gallon_gasoline_equivalent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_per_gallon_gasoline_equi...
