   @bloor @davidMbrooke
   I like molecules tho. These modern subatomic particle thingies give me a bad vibe.

     @bloor Definitely weird.

     I *sort-of* understand the appeal of maintaining the familiar 'go to a filling station and top-up with molecules' experience - but I don't know any EV drivers who miss going to filling stations.

     Plus, there's no need to wait to get hydrogen; people can buy a Toyota Mirai now (but few people do).

     There was a point where all the FUD about EVs was from people who proposed diesel or petrol as “much better than EV”. I think this is a waning trend.

     However a new trend seems to be pushing hydrogen powered vehicles. Two different people, on a local group post about EV experiences, have pushed the notion that “BMW is giving up making electric cars”. This is transparent nonsense. But two different people have said it, and followed up with “wait and get hydrogen”.

     It’s really weird.
