Green Hydrogen is sorted under pressure in cylinders within vehicles and converted into electricity to power electric motors. This electricity is then used to propel the vehicle’s electric motor and recharge its battery. Hydrogen fuel cells convert hydrogen gas into electricity, the only byproduct being water vapour.

Going to scale means not only manufacturing millions of EVs per year but supporting them from recharging to repair. EVs require automakers and their suppliers to reinvent their supply chains, hire employees with new software, battery, and mechatronic skill sets , and retrain or else lay off workers whose outdated skills are no longer needed.

Let’s consider a simple example, say an EV conversion that has a 120V pack and a range of around 30 miles. Going back to our formula we will first need to convert our kilowatt value to watts so we have 10,800 * 1000 = 10,800,000 watts needed from the source. Most houses are set up with a 200amp supply so we already have a bit problem.
