China needs to identify hydrogen vehicles as the main direction in NEV development

In the long term, hydrogen vehicles have at least three advantages compared with electric vehicles. First, a hydrogen vehicle could travel 500-600 kilometers with one fuel top-up, almost the same as a fossil fuel vehicle. Second, refueling a hydrogen vehicle only takes a few minutes, compared with the several hours of charging time for an electric vehicle. Third, hydrogen vehicles are truly non-polluting and emit zero emissions, with extremely low emissions even for the entire industrial chain. By comparison, electric vehicles' industrial chain actually has high pollution and emissions.

...if we're talking about the future, battery powered cars will also have 600 miles range and recharge in a couple of minutes. How comical to claim hydrogen vehicles would produce less pollution in the production chain, the energy to create it from renewables will create a lot ground and water pollution.
