I use my EV as a daily driver, and my ICE for long trips. Hydrogen doesn't offer me anything here...
That works today, but not tomorrow. I was specifically addressing future-state, when your ICE will not exist, and future you (or future someone-else-very-similar-to-you if future you has given up the ghost) will need to go take those same long trips you do today. An FCEV could be the answer. Your lack of interest in the technology now isn’t unexpected, but BMW’s intention was never to try to sell you on it now anyway. They are playing the long game, ready to have product ready when all of the GMC Denali 2500 Diesels are but distant memories of a bygone era.
