Yep. Better education is the key. Eventually people will wise up to
the taxes, aka subsidies, needed to support a fuel cell auto industry
when they start wondering where their tax payments are going. Education
will shorten that time.

I have the impression that no matter how hard we argue here until we
are blue in the face
(and it will edify some and give a solid background about *why* they
are called fool cells)
it will not sway much of the compliance car that Toyota is building
(or the battery swap
that Tesla is doing), simply because this industry has put it into law
that you can get
credits for providing a zero-emission long range vehicle, which is seen
as "required" by
the lawmakers and only two variants are being offered / developed at
the moment:
Hydrogen refilling (no matter how clumsy and inefficient and lacking
infrastructure)
and battery swapping (no matter that only a single station needed to be
demonstrated).
There you have it, as far as I know that is the reason we see what we
see.
To change this, we better watch legislators more closely / lobby better
and educate them
where we can, so we can get rid of these monstrosities and focus on
things that work,
such as BEV and get those into mainstream with all the money available
instead of
wasting it on pipe-dreams.
Let me know if I am besides the point...

Bob, thanks for writing in about your effort and the response. It
spurred me into action, I went there and submitted my thoughts on the
Prius (I have an '02, and on the newest models), but more so on the FCV
vs BEV debate. Perhaps many of us could sway them, eventually.
Thanks again,
-Chris

Earlier today, I got an email from Toyota promoting their Fool Cell
vehicle (with no reply address).
So I went to the Toyota web site and found the CONTACT link and
filled
out an on-line email telling them to stop throwing good money after
bad in last years ideas (Fool cells) and to come out with a
competitive Toyota BEV...
IN less than 3 hours, I got a response:
"We are sorry to hear of your concerns with Toyota's positioning of
the fuel cell vehicle. We respect your opinions regarding both
battery-electric vehicles and the FCV, and have documented your
comments at our National Headquarters, where they remain available
for
review from the appropriate departments. It is through feedback such
as yours we are able to monitor and improve upon the quality of our
products and services."
If they are actively sending out a broad reach advertising campaign
for their FCV, then they are also obviously open to feedback!
