With or without successful EVs, I think fuel cells will likely die out like steam powered cars did.
I certainly hope so... or you'll see ever-increasing prices on hydrogen just as we did over the decades with gasoline. To hell with all that nonsense. Solar + EV = WINSteam-powered cars, at least, had a somewhat successful run for a while. I think hydrogen fuel cell cars will be stillborn.
I'm not sure why hydrogen would be considered a fossil fuel. It is the most plentiful fuel in the universe. I didn't think dinosaurs traveled that far into space.My gripe with hydrogen isn't so much about fuel cell technology itself, but the cost of building out the infrastructure, and the fact that currently, hydrogen is essentially a fossil fuel. Until the cost of storage and distribution can come WAY down, and it can be produced sustainably and economically, it's a non-starter IMHO.

Depends on what the energy source is to create the electricity to split the water molecule. If it is fossil based than yes you are correct, although the hydrogen itself comes from water. If the electricity is clean sourced (I.e. hydro, solar, wind) then it would not be tied to fossil.Because it is commercially made from underground hydrocarbons. Think of them as dinosaur farts.
Guess where the carbon goes?

BTW, dinosaur farts are methane.
Not necessarily the end, just at the very least acknowledgement that EVs are clearly a viable long range solution (something the hydrogen backers, like Toyota and Honda have yet to admit).Why on earth would we be cheering and advocating for "the end" of any alternative energy transportation?
Market competition is good. Exploring multiple alternatives to achieve the same goal is sound strategy.
