The cost of platinum makes hydrogen fuel cells an expensive proposition even in comparison to lithium-ion batteries. Hence, they are likely to always have relatively poorer performance, be more expensive in initial purchase, in ongoing maintenance and per kilometre travelled costs. 2015, p127) [1]. . 2020) [11].

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV. It is much more than that.

So imagine a million electric cars on US roads which all need to change these batteries in say 2015. If you charge with solar, is way less. And with EV maintenance you are less exposed to being ripped off buy the ICE car repairman. But that cost in a built as an EV is much less than an ICE’s costs by about 1/2.
