I am very much in favor of *appropriate* posts directly relating to EV's

An excellent suggestion. Hopefully enough to satisfy the few(apparently)
not wishing exposure to FC posts.

My $.02 worth.
Compare recent advancements in  batteries vs. those being made in FC
technologies. Also consider the infrastructure and the mass public's
demand for instant gratification (re-fueling). For wide spread
acceptance of EV's I believe the public will insist upon the option of
'fill-up and go' in a very short time. If that is not possible they will
not be interested. FC's easily offer that option. Quick charging, on the
other hand, requires very high currents and associated cabling and input
connections. Been there, done that, scary!!!
