I agree. I am not too educated on hydrogen tech and it's application in vehicles but if the end game is electric, why bother investing R&D into hydrogen? What is the long play here and if you're a prospective buyer of a non-ICE BMW, are you even looking at hydrogen instead of just going electric? It doesn't make sense to me.

I get that BMW doesn't think the infrastructure is ready but I think there's far more value in just continually working with electric than hydrogen as a very temporary stop gap.
