Yes, you are right. …
Yes, you are right. Catalyst is necessary as Hydrogen is not produced from river/lake/ocean.

well a hydrogen car …
well a hydrogen car is electric and the batteries are fueled by hydogen(water)

1) Lithium Ion batteries are bio degradable. No problems with their disposal. They can also be recycled.
2) ok…
3) Name some ideas for making hydrogen more efficiently. I am not aware of any.
4) ER-EVs (extended range electric vehicles) have never been available. The GM Volt will be the first. Name one EV-EV that was available pre-WW2.

traxdata11,
1) you …
traxdata11,
1) you only have to make the battery once, so it’s CO2 from manufacture is irrelevant
2) the only way anyone is making hydrogen now it with natural gas which produces CO2. Guess who wants to sell you this? Big oil.
3) making hydrogen from water takes 5 times the energy you get back out of it.
4) ER-EVs will be available next year and they could have been available decades ago if the oil companies didnt hold them back.

traxdata11, we need …
traxdata11, we need to use ER-EV and continue to improve batteries. An ER-EV can get you anywhere you need to go. There are some new battery techs that could give an EV a 1000 mile range (like EEStore and Nano Wire). Combustion cars have had 100 years of development, next to that EVs have had zero. It is time we put development into EVs.

if Honda makes this …
if Honda makes this an electric car instead of a hydrogen car, they’ll leave Toyota in the dust in car sales

Sorry, it should be …
Sorry, it should be: Buttery cars are not clean either.

traxdata11, no, …
traxdata11, no, hydrogen is not easier because there is no place to get the hydrogen from economically. There is already an electrical grid to connect new outlets to. There is no digging needed to put outlets in parking places. The grid is already right there ready to go.

“when plug-ins …
“when plug-ins become main-stream then there will be more places for you to plug in, obviously.”

OK. Maybe. But electrical sistem in my country is already on a verge of colapse. Every summer we have ocasional outtages because of extensive use of AC divices. What do you think would happen when everyone start to plag in their cars. Not everyone live in a country where electr. sistem is good. To put outlets on a parking lots and streets they would have to dig the whole city to put cables in.

I didn’t say …
I didn’t say hybrids are not being capable to plug in. I just say that me and all other people in same situation as me, cannot plug them in.

What you expect me to do? Run extention cord from my window all around the building just to charge plug in car? And someone can take your my cord and plug into his car. That is too impractical.

I live in a south …
I live in a south of europe. Winters are not so harsh as in canada. No single parking lot has a outlet. The only way for me to have a car (after they stop using ICE engines) is to have type of a car from this video. And I’m no the only one i this situation. My brother too will need fuel cell car in 10 years. Not to mention 50% of population of my country.

Because plug in’s …
Because plug in’s are not ready yet. I live in apartment and have to park on building’s parking lot. I have no way to charge plug in car (unless, they build public charging network).
