AutoExec Summary
The cost of rolling out electric vehicles will be greater than governments expect, according to a senior car company executive. It is cheaper to build a network of hydrogen fuel-cell refuelling stations alongside electric-car charging stations. The sales of electric vehicles have skyrocketed in recent years, requiring a global network of fast-charging stations. However, the cost of upgrading the power grid to cope with new charging stations is not being fully considered by governments. Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles are not intended to replace battery-electric cars, and a balance of the two technologies will be the cheapest way to switch the global vehicle fleet to zero emissions.
Brands mentioned: BMW, Toyota, Hyundai.
