A claim that is categorically false. The Mirai was the first commercially available FCEV, and that happened around 2014. Meanwhile, BEVs are older than internal combustion cars. The whole argument could easily be a repeat of the argument in favor of diesel cars. There was a time when millions of them sold per year, and BEVs were just a round error at the time. But the facts don't change: diesel cars are unsustainable and had major fundamental limitations. The answer became the BEV, despite being sold in nearly no quantities at the time. This time around, it is become clear that BEVs are also unsustainable, and have their own limitations. And it doesn't matter how many millions it sell. There need for something even better than the BEV still exists, and that will be the catalyst for FCEV sales. One of the biggest upside is that they are in reality much simpler and lighter than BEVs. A FCEV will cost no more than internal combustion cars to build. And because it refuels so fast, it can easily be a car for everyone, and not just people with garages. As a result, it is a matter of when and not if it replaces BEVs.
