		bryanlarsen on May 31, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ford F-150 Lightning Reaches Its First Customers Green hydrogen uses about 3x as much electricity per mile than just using the electricity directly in an EV. I'm not sure how that can have a smaller carbon foot print. A Toyota Mirai weighs more than a Tesla Model 3, so there's no weight advantage.

Good point.

It barely weighs more though. I wonder if the weight increases much with capacity as it does with batteries?
