The car has an HEPA filter which removes dust from the air which is nice but that's not the whole story, as can be expected from marketing. 6.3kg of hydrogen consumed means 50 kg of atmospheric oxygen consumed, which is 170 000 liter

Germans and Swiss are renting the most and do not have a dread of homelessness. The dread comes in when you can't find work that will pay for rent. Not when you don't own a house.
