    Hybrids are perhaps worse than both ICE and EV.

    EV with range extender is not hybrid. You keep confirming that you don’t really know what you’re talking about.

        also doesn’t pollute, right?

        You make no sense. Of course a range extender pollutes but it’s an edge case only for very long distance drives.

        Manufacturing hydrogen is way more energy intensive and pollutes much more.

          In what way hydrogen manufacturing pollutes much more assuming we are talking about green h2? Sure renewables have a pollution cost associated with manufacturing but I really don’t think the end result is much more pollution. Even less so in the cities in resulting co2 and pmN emissions.

            Because it takes grid electricity to store, and it takes Diesel trucks to move around. Green H2 is not green, even with electrolysis, it would be more efficient to just use the electricity.

              Grid electricity can be from renewables including h2, trucks can be either electric or hydrogen. 🤷

      Range extender doesn’t make sense which is while serial hybrids died out for cars. At the rpms where gas is most efficient, it’s better to drive the wheels directly with the ice than waste energy converting it to electricity with a generator and back into motion with the ev motors.

      That’s what all hybrids do today.
