That may very well be the case. Or it may not. Who knows. Maybe I will be forced to buy another car sooner due to mine breaking down. Maybe EV's will change such that they suit my needs within the next 12-18 months. Anything could happen.

Hence why I mentioned the man who had apparently developed a more efficient way of getting HHO from water and using it in his car and cutting device and who was in talks with the US military and car manufacturers. However, yvanleterrible was kind enough to point out my idiocy and general brainwashing in believing that this device may be workable because it breaks a fundamental law of thermodynamics. Though I'm unsure why car makers and the US military didn't know it was impossible to begin with. Anyway, I guess hydrogen is just totally and utterly unworkable and should be abondoned at all costs before the oil companies get their hands on any of the technology and start forcing us to pay for water instead of petrol as that is the only foreseeable outcome of the entire Hydrogen as a fuel source scenario.

The compressed air car suffers pretty much the same draw backs as an EV for my needs.
