Good article, as always hydrogen for transport is dead. Unfortunately, as they say, what is dead can never die. And there will always be companies trying to siphon off public funds to do “trial runs”.

One thing that seems wrong is in the efficiency comparison: step 1 for hydrogen should be grid transmission, not electrolyzer.

Also, how come the BEV price doesn’t adjust in response to electricity prices (not that it would impact the result).

Good catches, both of them. The hydrogen pathway should include grid transmission before the electrolyser, you're right. In practice it doesn't change the overall ratio much (multiplying by 0.95 on both sides) but the diagram should be consistent.

The BEV cost not adjusting with the electricity slider is a bug, not a choice. I'll fix both. Thanks.
