Elon and Tesla invested in batteries because of their opinions on hydrogen. Its not like they realize this now.
15 years ago Tesla could have bet on hydrogen, and they didn't.
> They only care about $/mile
Every analysis so far shows that hydrogen is more expensive then electricity by far.
Lets go threw it:
- Infrastructure for hydrogen is far more expensive
- Price per energy is more expensive for hydrogen
- The truck is more complex to design and build
- Hydrogen power trains are harder to maintain
> Notice the Tesla Semi has been delayed for three years now?
Because one Semi uses the same amount of batteries as 4 cars and 4 cars make more profits. This is really not that hard to understand.
