Nonetheless, hydrogen fuel cell cars are, like pure battery powered cars, classed as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV). If taken from such sources, hydrogen is a fossil fuel, and is not a renewable resource. The Conversation [link] accessed 4/6/2020. So why haven’t FCEV becoming as prolific as other electric cars?

Likewise, any driver who is sensitive to loud noises – for example someone who has tinnitus – will enjoy the welcome relief of a quiet, battery-powered vehicle. Clutch conversions. Reduced noise. EVs are actually so quiet that they often have to be fitted with external sound emitters to ensure pedestrians know a car is nearby.

Paradox 1 - Soot: There's an apparent emissions paradox with plug-in hybrids (PHEV): Driving longer distances on battery power means more cold starts as the internal combustion engine (ICE) stops and starts up again after the batteries deplete. Cold starts mean more pollution. Thus the PHEV test drive for journalists.
