    Battery technology will be improved. Look at how much better today’s lithium ion batteries are than the NiCad batteries of the 90s.

    At some point, we’ll develop something that doesn’t wear out for tens of thousands of charge cycles.

      And fuel cells will also improve. Why not invest in an alternative? At the very least, you have a backup plan.

      Also, fuel cells are electrochemical devices just like batteries. They arguable are batteries. So there’s no reason to not accept fuel cells.

        Hydrogen can not be improved. It will still seep through containers no matter what material you use because hydrogen atoms are just so damn small.

        They are 2 fundamentally different problems, and only one can be actually improved. And that is the battery storage.

          That’s gibberish. All technology improves. And with hydrogen, you already start off with the highest possible energy density. And fuel cells are electrochemical systems, just like batteries. Saying batteries can improve also imply fuel cells can improve.
