The complexity of the cooling system might be magnified a bit by the detailed writing style of David Tracy at Jalopnik.

For those who liked this article, there's another article with a video comparing Tesla Model 3, Chevy Bolt, and BMW i3:

Less painful video link at Youtube:


For non mechanical engineers who want to confuse themselves, here's a very verbose article about how car door locks and latches work:  :)

Only advantage of hydrogen is energy density and speed of refill. Otherwise it is (still) one of most inefficient way of storing (electrical) energy. Attach: screenshot from YT video of channel "Real Engineering". Disclaimer: I am not against EV's as such.

@ogden: that video has been debunked to dust several times already.  :palm: In reality the prices are much closer especially if you have to rely solely on public charging spots. Also add in the extra costs you'll need to pay (one way or another) to upgrade the grid to allow charging an EV. And it is not just my opinion. Look around at how installation of hydrogen infrastructure is being ramped up nowadays.

Fine. Show pointers to debunking instead of dumb facepalm.

That would mean repeating parts of several old threads. I suggest you read them carefully. Also get some actual numbers on hydrogen prices and electricity prices from public charging spots.
