The oil and battery industries spend tens of millions of dollars per year on disinformation campaigns and fake pundits/shills to discredit hydrogen because it beats their products on every metric.

The waste product from hydrogen is potable water, the waste product from oil is cancer. (Oil is the root cause of cancer. ) It is worth anything to end Cancer so any arguement against hydrogen is offset by this fact alone. The waste product from batteries is Lithium poisoning and EMF caused cancer (The GM- EV1 was destroyed because of the EMF cancer risk).

Hydrogen can now be efficiently made from water and the competing interests can't control water so that want H2 stopped.

The more batteries you add to an electric car, the less far it goes. Hydrogen carries more energy at less weight than any battery.

Detroit has a deal with the oil companies to make money by using oil. Big oil does not want Detroit using H2. Big Oil controls the U.S. DOE and orders them to delay hydrogen.

For every negative you could get a shill to make-up about hydrogen, there are thousands of technical papers that disprove it. For every negative that you hear about oil and batteries there are hundreds of thousands of technical papers that prove it.

The gulf coast will now experience a doubling of cancer rates within 10 years, essentially killing off the deep south because of the BP Oil spill.

Hydrogen runs the sun and that seems to work pretty well.

The US DOE is owned and controlled by the Oil Industry.

So when the customer goes home at night with the loaner, does he just plug it in a 110 volt outlet?
Will that work? Is it safe? I read on another post that you need a BEV charger at home.

Thanks Darelldd - That sounds good to me!
And you could use the charger when you visit a friend's house.

Thanks for all the kind posts by everyone. Addressing a post on different site I thought I would place all of it here as well.

The Nissan dealership has their own body shop so it’s doubtful they would recommend us. So there is no kickback from the Nissan dealer or anyone else to the business for doing this.

We have been providing free loaner ICE cars for 25 years as a customer convenience. So providing an EV as replacement transportation is not that much different other then the fuel of the vehicle. It is something I would have like to have done since 2004. That is when I personally started driving an OEM 1998 S-10 EV. It’s difficult to explain to an ICE driver but once you drive an EV for a while most EV drivers talk about how much they enjoy them.

There are businesses such as grocery stores that give discounted gas to their customers. Lowering the price of gas is not an answer and I will not support doing so. The goal should be to replace oil whenever possible. Our temporary replacement vehicles are only for local use. I could be wrong but I believe electric vehicles should be useable for many of our customers. Since loaners are not intended to be taken out of approximately a 20 mile radius. I just need to make sure there daily driving would not be exceeded the capacity to recharge with 120 volts. Right now that is about the only limiting factor.

My hope is these ICE drivers learn firsthand how fun EV’s are and what little they cost to run. EVs will work for most driver’s daily needs. So if anyone is thinking of buying a new vehicle they should seriously consider buying an EV. I have 12 ICE loaner vehicles because up to this point I had no other option. My goal is to replace as many of these ICE vehicles as possible with EVs. We could buy less expensive ICE vehicles and continue to provide basic transportation replacements. I consider the Leaf an investment to expose others to the pleasure of driving an EV and reduce our dependence on imported energy.

I don’t expect to change the world. My hope is the Leaf will make a few ICE drivers take a closer look at their miles per day. Then realize that an EV is a practical and very enjoyable vehicle to drive. There are dozens of good reasons not to use oil for basic transportation. One big one is as a nation we can no longer afford to keep printing up money to import oil.

It is just plain wrong to be borrowing money now and having our children and grandchildren paying for our current way of life. It is our problem and rather than passing it on we should be responsible adults and resolve this as quickly as possible. I consider it a patriotic duty to reduce our dependence on foreign energy. As a nation we have plenty of other serious problems. The many issues concerning the use oil are not just going to go away. There are still trillions of dollars in the ground and some very large corporations will manipulate the market to continue business as usual.
Nissan has made a huge commitment and have taken a very large risk in building real EVs. There is no existing market and many people are to be at the least very skeptical of them. I support Nissan’s attempt as EVs have far exceeded my expectations. The Leaf is a far superior vehicle to what I have been accustomed to driving.

If Nissan fails because of a lack of the success of EVs this would be a major loss that could set back EVs for years. I am sure the oil companies would love to see this happen. There is a saying there is no guarantees in life and that includes business. When people consider buying a new car they have a choice to make. Many of these new car buyers should seriously consider an OEM EV. Their decision will affect the United States and our children’s future. It is my hope some of these buyers will review their transportation needs and choose wisely.
