The nearest H2 fueling station to my home is about 800 miles away. The nearest charging plug is 10 feet away and cost $50 in supplies. I pay ~ 2.5 cents a mile to drive my EVs.

Our commuter EV cost $8,300 (used)
Our long range EV cost $50,000 one year ago, $40,000 after tax credits. Our long(ish) trips start out with ~ 300 miles of range and charging en-route is at rates up to 18 miles a minute. In general, the car is ready to go before I am.

No doubt EVs will continue to rapidly advance tech wise and prices will drop. Already today though, I am delighted with the technology and spend my advocacy time cleaning up the grid. Climate change is upon us. We have squandered decades and we now have about a decade left to abandon fossils. Massive scale clean energy deployment is needed NOW, and EVs are ready today.
