    It is physically impossible for hydrogen cars to ever be as green as EVs. In order to do so you’d have to break laws of physics.

    In a pure fuel comparison sure, does that still hold true when you also factor in manufacturing?

    The losses from simply running electrons through a wire are very small.

    You conveniently forgot about battery charging and discharging losses.

      Yes.

      You conveniently forgot about battery charging and discharging losses.

      I didn’t. Those are very small. Compared to the losses of a HFCEV or even worse, a combustion hydrogen car.
