How many of those EVs coming
How many of those EVs coming to market are compliance cars, Bob? You missed my point. The Ford Focus Electric, Toyota RAV4 EV, Spark, and others are being made purely to comply with California's inane law. The new companies are struggling and, frankly, gaining a bad name for EVs in the process (i.e. Fisker and the Karma fires, Tesla and the high cost of their cars). Coda is probably the only one that is doing it right and theirs are mostly made in China.
It should be obvious to everyone that putting all of our eggs in the petroleum basket was a huge mistake. We'll make that mistake again if we throw all of our eggs into the BEV, HFC, or whatever else basket. We need diversity and regionalization in power trains or we'll just be where we are now again in another few decades.
Predictions are that, by their current rate of advancement, fuel cells should be equivalent in cost per kwh to lithium-ion before 2020 and will have surpassed them in range per pound, durability, and more. So they will definitely be competitive.
