You have both of these options with BEV+H2, the H2 is just a ranger extender to keep the battery smaller, refueling on the road more convenient and the car's price lower. Renault has already done this for commercial vehicles (Master and Kangoo ZE). Plus I'm sure there will be options with the H2 tank compartment filled by a larger battery for people who prefer the former.

I'm not opposed to this idea after all here are also people driving gas instead of normal fuel.

Let's see I still think H2 handling is a little bit more risky

You should probably read this:

I used to think it was risky as well, given Hindenburg, Challenger and all. The reality is that it's no more risky than gasoline, it's just different.

Interesting, tx
