Yeah. They look to be about 2x-3x as expensive as just an LI battery, but there are insurance savings to take into account and the fact that they are significantly safer and more efficient and should last about 10-20y longer. I think the cost is worth it, but they're also the first people on the scene. I expect competition to make them close to LI cost.

This also isn't taking into account battery advances like solid state. Amptricity is preselling home batteries now.

Hydrogen leaks no matter what you do, costs a lot of energy to produce the amount we'd need, and is hugely combustible. The fact it produces only water as a byproduct is not as big a sell as you think. 1kg is about equal to 1 gallon of diesel. It costs $1.50 to produce it from NG and $5 to produce it green. Fuel cells are incredibly expensive and the vehicles will remain expensive due to the problems above. It's a viable fuel, but not for consumer vehicles.

I sure do, but it doesn't seem worth it unless you're big into RT or hfr 4k. However, fuck nvidia after this 4080 (4070) debacle.

Jesus, you were really going to jump from the 3080 to the 4080? I mean, the RT numbers look great, but why?

You're comparing hydrogen of the future to a battery tech that will likely be replaced completely in 10 years though. Solid state batteries are already being presold. Hydrogen is inevitable but not for personal use in at least 20 years except maybe as a home fuel.
