- chefandy 6y agoCan't gas up at home either. By my reckoning, if there was a huge network of hydrogen stations that should do the trick.
- bogdanu 6y agoNope, but you can with a BEV. A SMB could afford to offer a low electric charging station; heck, software companies could offer the possibility to charge their employee cars for free as a perk; even a normal outlet would be enough, 8-9 hours would be more than enough for charging. Maybe the local administration could offer some incentives to companies that have this.

- bogdanu 6y agoMy reply was mostly meant only for the first 2 sentences, except the trucking part. I was trying to evidentiate that charging stations built by tesla supplement home charging or any normal outlet. It's a bit different than building a network of superchargers because the demand would be a lot higher because a hydrogen powered car will be fully dependent of those specially built charging stations. The main idea is that a BEV owner doesn't need a supercharger station to use his car. Sure, it'll be nice, but not mandatory; let's not forget that not everybody lives in US or W. Europe where the network is more developed.

- darksaints 6y agoMaybe not with current production cars, but there is plenty of available technology that would allow for it. Fuel cells can be reversible...meaning the same cell that takes hydrogen and oxygen and turns it into electricity and water, can do the reverse: take water and electricity and turn it into hydrogen and oxygen.
