I want an electric car...

RE: I want an electric car...
Nonsense, just because you don't have ant exhaust fumes doesn't make the car more environmentaly friendly. The fabrication of hydrogen fuel cells is very nasty. The best bang for buck in batterypower is LiFePo4, again not exactly zero emission fabrication to use an euphemism. And the production and containment of hydrogen is still done best by chemical reaction, not by electrolysis splitting. You need 2.2Kw of energy to convert 1kw worth of hydrogen by using electrolysis splitters which in no way shape or form is efficient.

Electric cars are promising, but we need to increase efficiency first and lower the manufacturing footprint first before it is a viable alternative. Right now we have steam engines more efficient.
Best regards,
