Just a couple of points first if Tesla produced the number of electric cars they plan it would use around 80 percent of the world lithium.


Second many automotive manufactures like Toyota, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Hyundai are all going hydrogen fuel cell.As for the safety many forklifts drive round with gas tanks on back


By 2021 around 60 percent of the small truck market will be hydrogen fuel cell, and this will be higher on larger forklift when they have this sorted.if you look at the fuel cost over time hydrogen is a fraction of diesel

I have seen a video were Marks & Spencer use a hydrogen fuel cell truck the result against battery trucks was much better.


Hydrogen fuel can be produced by green energy on site at a much lower cost than a standard electric.


Many electric truck manufacture will try to convert electric trucks into hydrogen fuel cell. Only Toyota from what I have seen are developing a true hydrogen fuel cell truck
