Baua Electric

But now it says it will rely heavily on hydrogen fuel cells generated from plastic, food, and organic waste to power a whole new generation of EVs, from passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks. Storing hydrogen is a challenge too in that it requires high pressures, low temperatures, or other chemical process to keep it compact.

An EV like this would need to store 6KWHrs of power in the batteries if we assume the system is 100% efficient. A visit to the gas station takes minutes not seconds and so the California Air Resource board, when it established fast charging standards, set the goal of charging the batteries to 80% in 10 minutes.
