That's your guess!
Let's face it; The BEV is a brute force solution to a transportation problem, i.e. We've had battery powered
vehicle technology for decades. Yes, power semiconductors, brush-less motors, microcontrollers, & etc.,
have facilitated the BEV development, but the key technology is the same, i.e. a vehicle where its total
energy source is stored in a battery. It's only because of the lithium battery that BEVs have become
somewhat viable, but on a very limited acceptance basis. There's really no significant BEV technology
that's not available to all participants who wish to market a BEV.
Bottom Line: The FCEV provides the potential for a wider "transparent" acceptance of an alternate mode
of transportation to the ICEV.
