Hydrogen Fuel Cells and probably more widespread PHEVs. I am unconvinced by the case for hydrogen fuel cells or PHEVs. 10-million cars with 200lbs of Li-ion batteries each would save more energy from our transportation network than 2-million cars with 1000lbs of Li-ion batteries each. The correct answer is the reduction of cars. Taking 10 million cars off the road and switching to public transit and higher density su…
