I'm not so sure FCVs are an ally to EVs. Whether FCVs go away on their
own or not, to build the infrastructure will cost billions and then
billions more of subsidies to generate hydrogen at a competitive price.
Once that infrastructure exists, it is a beast, not an ally.

Surely, rather than fighting _against_ FCVs, we should be fighting
_with_
them, against our common enemy the internal combustion engine?

(I'm not a big fan of FCVs, but it seems to me they will go away on
their
own; we don't need to hasten their demise, other than perhaps to get
states
like California to stop spending our taxes on them.)

Earlier today, I got an email from Toyota promoting their Fool Cell
vehicle (with no reply address).
So I went to the Toyota web site and found the CONTACT link and
filled out
an on-line email telling them to stop throwing good money after bad
in
last years ideas (Fool cells) and to come out with a competitive
Toyota
BEV...
IN less than 3 hours, I got a response:
"We are sorry to hear of your concerns with Toyota's positioning of
the
fuel cell vehicle. We respect your opinions regarding both
battery-electric vehicles and the FCV, and have documented your
comments
at our National Headquarters, where they remain available for review
from
the appropriate departments. It is through feedback such as yours we
are
able to monitor and improve upon the quality of our products and
services."
If they are actively sending out a broad reach advertising campaign
for
their FCV, then they are also obviously open to feedback!
