I got in a disagreement with a guy about how dangerous hydrogen powered vehicles are. He claimed hydrogen vehicles are more dangerous than lithium batteries. I cited the fires that were occurring in Chevy Bolts recently. So here’s an article that “adds more fuel to the fire” on how dangerous BEVs are. Hydrogen burns but

This gives some important differences about well to wheel comparisons of BEVs and ICEVs. BEVs are much more efficient. Document (.PDF) is 2.4 MB. https://www.transportenvironment.org/publications/batteries-vs-oil-comparison-raw-material-needs

These are not backyard grease monkeys, these are car companies that have done a lot research and development. Toyota has had
