00:18hey everyone Oliver here welcome to this very special research deep dive today we're tackling
00:24one of the most heated debates in transportation which propulsion technology actually wins
00:30electric hydrogen HVO or good old petrol we've all seen the headlines the hype and the heated arguments
00:37online but what does the real data say when we compare them fairly performance efficiency
00:42environmental impact cost and infrastructure in this video we break down my latest paper with zero
00:49agenda just facts numbers and honest trade-offs whether you're team Tesla hydrogen believer HVO
00:55fan or petrol loyalist you'll walk away with clarity this matters because the future of
00:59mobility will be a mix not a single winner stick around it's going to be an exciting ride hi everyone
01:05Anastasia here welcome back to this exciting research deep dive before we jump into the data
01:11let me give you a clear roadmap of what we'll explore together today we'll start with the current state
01:17and physical fundamentals of each technology how electricity hydrogen HVO and petrol are actually
01:25produced and how they work at the most basic level then we'll move into a detailed real-world performance
01:32and efficiency comparison acceleration range energy consumption and how they behave in everyday driving
01:40after that we'll take an honest look at the full life cycle environmental impact from raw material
01:47extraction and production all the way to tailpipe emissions and end-of-life recycling no greenwashing
01:54just facts we'll also do a practical infrastructure and cost reality check how easy or difficult it is to
02:02refuel or recharge and what the total cost of ownership really looks like next we'll examine four real-world vehicle
02:09examples the tesla model three long range the hyundai nexo hydrogen the mercedes c300d running on hbo
02:18and the mercedes c400 petrol so you can see how these technologies perform in actual cars finally we'll wrap up
02:26with a clear final verdict and actionable recommendations for drivers companies and policymakers by the end of
02:32this video you'll have a balanced data-driven understanding of which technology makes sense for different use
02:38cases so buckle up this is going to be an eye-opening ride let's dive in imagine standing at a
02:44crossroads
02:44in 2026 four different cars are revving their engines each promising to take us into a cleaner future
02:52on the left we have the sleek silent tesla model 3 the champion of electric vehicles next to it the
03:01futuristic
03:01hyundai nexo powered by hydrogen fuel cells then there's the mercedes c300d running on hbo a renewable diesel
03:12that looks and feels like a normal car and finally the classic mercedes c400 the reliable petrol veteran that has
03:21dominated roads for over a century today we're not here to crown a single winner we're here to understand
03:28each contender's real strengths weaknesses and best use cases no hype no agenda just facts hi everyone
03:37sophia here i'm really excited to dig into this topic with anastasia these four technologies all claim to
03:44be the future but the debate is endless i have some questions which one has the best real world efficiency
03:51today why is this comparison still so controversial excellent question sophia in terms of tank to wheel
03:59efficiency electric vehicles currently lead the pack but when we look at the full well to wheel picture
04:07including production and infrastructure it becomes much more nuanced and that complexity is exactly why
04:15this comparison remains so heated and fascinating let's explore the fundamentals first electricity
04:22for evs is usually generated from a mix of sources renewables like wind and solar are ideal but many grids
04:31still rely heavily on coal and gas the beauty of evs is direct energy transfer no combustion minimal losses how
04:41efficient
04:42is the charging process compared to burning fuel what's the biggest hidden cost in ev production charging
04:48efficiency is around 85 to 90 percent far better than internal combustion engines however battery production
04:56especially mining lithium and cobalt carries a significant upfront environmental burden hydrogen is the most
05:04abundant element in the universe but on earth it's almost always bound to other atoms green hydrogen is
05:11produced via electrolysis using renewable electricity clean but energy intensive why is hydrogen
05:18production so controversial is hydrogen really zero emission currently 95 percent of hydrogen is gray made from natural
05:26gas green hydrogen is clean at the tailpipe but the production process is still inefficient and expensive now
05:35now let's talk about the two fuels that feel most familiar hvo and petrol hvo or hydro treated vegetable oil
05:45is
05:45basically premium renewable diesel it's made from waste oils animal fats and plant residues the magic happens
05:55through a process called hydro treatment where oxygen is removed and replaced with hydrogen creating a super clean diesel that
06:04works perfectly in existing diesel engines on the other side we have traditional petrol refined from crude oil through distillation
06:14and cracking
06:15it's been the king of the road for over a century because it's energy dense easy to store and has
06:22an incredibly mature global infrastructure
06:24these two seem very similar at first glance how does hvo compare chemically to normal diesel
06:31why do people still defend petrol so passionately excellent questions chemically hvo is almost identical to fossil diesel
06:41same energy content same combustion behavior but it burns much cleaner with significantly lower life cycle emissions
06:49people defend petrol because it has unmatched energy density decades of engine optimization and a global refueling
06:59network that's hard to beat for many drivers especially in rural areas or those who tow heavy loads petrol and
07:07diesel
07:07still feels more practical today let's compare real efficiency electric vehicles like the tesla model 3 achieve
07:15around 16 to 18 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers hydrogen fuel cells are less efficient due to multiple conversion steps
07:26hbo and petrol vehicles typically achieve six to eight liters per 100 kilometers but when we look at well to
07:35wheel efficiency
07:36the picture changes dramatically which technology wastes the least energy overall
07:41does real world driving change these numbers significantly electric vehicles win on tank to wheel efficiency
07:51often above 80 percent hydrogen drops to around 25 to 35 percent because of production and conversion losses
08:02hvo and petrol sit in the 20 to 35 percent range
08:07real world driving traffic temperature and load can change these numbers by 20 to 40 percent
08:16performance tells an interesting story evs like the tesla model 3 offer explosive acceleration thanks to instant
08:25torque hydrogen vehicles like the nexo give excellent range with fast refueling
08:32hvo and petrol cars still deliver strong real world range and towing capability which one feels the most fun to
08:40drive in daily life
08:41how does cold weather affect range across these technologies evs feel the most responsive and fun in city driving
08:49hydrogen and petrol offer better range consistency in cold weather
08:54evs can lose 20 to 40 percent of range in freezing temperatures while hvo and petrol are much more stable
09:03when we normalize
09:04everything to energy used per 100 kilometers evs are currently the most efficient followed by hvo then petrol
09:15with hydrogen currently lagging due to conversion losses is this gap likely to close in the next five to ten
09:21years
09:22what does this mean for total cost of ownership the efficiency gap between evs and others will likely
09:29widen as battery tech improves for total cost of ownership this efficiency advantage combined with lower
09:37maintenance often makes evs cheaper to run despite higher upfront costs tailpipe emissions are only part of
09:45the story evs have zero tailpipe emissions hydrogen produces only water hvo significantly reduces emissions
09:55compared to fossil diesel while petrol remains the highest at the tailpipe which technology has the lowest full
10:01life cycle emissions today does this change depending on the electricity grid on a clean grid evs win
10:09on a coal heavy grid hvo can sometimes be competitive hydrogen's position depends heavily on whether it's green
10:19or gray hydrogen the biggest environmental criticism of evs is battery production hydrogen faces criticism for
10:27current production methods both have significant upfront impacts that improve over the vehicle's lifetime how many
10:35kilometers does an ev need to drive to offset its battery production impact is hydrogen production improving fast enough
10:42most studies show an ev offsets its battery production emissions between 20 000 to 50 000 kilometers depending on the
10:51grid
10:53green hydrogen production is improving rapidly with falling renewable energy costs when we look at the complete
10:59well-to-wheel picture the ranking usually becomes evs on clean grids first followed by hvo then hydrogen if green
11:10and finally
11:11conventional petrol what does this mean for policy makers which technology should countries invest in most right now
11:18policy makers should avoid picking single winners and instead build flexible infrastructure that supports multiple
11:26multiple technologies the smartest strategy is a technology mix tailored to each country's strengths let's get
11:34real about one of the biggest practical barriers in this entire debate infrastructure because no matter how clean or
11:43efficient a technology is on paper if you can't reliably refuel or recharge it it simply won't work for most
11:51people
11:52on the electric side we've seen incredible growth tesla's supercharger network ionity electrify america and
12:00thousands of public and private chargers have transformed the landscape in many cities you can now find a
12:08charger within a few kilometers however outside major urban areas and highways coverage is still patchy long
12:16distance travel in winter with a cold battery can turn a simple road trip into a stressful planning exercise
12:24hydrogen on the other hand has almost the opposite problem refueling is incredibly fast just three to
12:31five minutes for a full tank and the driving experience feels very similar to petrol but the network is tiny
12:39in most
12:40countries you can count the number of public hydrogen stations on one hand germany has made good progress
12:46but even there the infrastructure is far from sufficient for mass adoption hvo and traditional petrol enjoy
12:53the massive advantage of using the existing global fuel station network over 100 000 stations across europe alone
13:00you can drive almost anywhere and refuel in minutes this convenience is one of the main reasons many
13:06drivers are still hesitant to switch infrastructure seems to be the silent killer for some of these
13:11technologies which network is growing the fastest right now why is building hydrogen infrastructure
13:18so much more difficult than building ev chargers excellent questions the ev charging network is currently
13:25growing the fastest new stations are being added every week however building hydrogen infrastructure is
13:32significantly more challenging and expensive hydrogen needs to be stored at extremely high pressure
13:39or very low temperatures which requires specialized costly equipment and safety standards
13:46transporting hydrogen is also difficult and expensive compared to electricity which can be sent through
13:52existing power lines this is why we see much slower rollout for hydrogen stations despite the excellent
13:59refueling experience they offer beyond the visible chargers and stations there are massive invisible
14:06challenges happening behind the scenes for electric vehicles the biggest issue is the electricity grid itself
14:15many countries are already struggling with peak demand if millions more evs start charging at the same time
14:23especially in the evening we could see serious grid strain blackouts
14:28or the need for very expensive grid upgrades smart charging and vehicle to grid technology will help
14:35but they're not fully rolled out yet hydrogen has its own set of massive challenges producing green hydrogen
14:44at scale requires enormous amounts of renewable electricity then you have to compress or liquefy it transport it
14:51safely and store it each step loses energy and adds cost today most hydrogen is still gray produced from natural
15:01gas which defeats much of the environmental purpose
15:05the dream of a true green hydrogen economy is still several years away from being economically viable at large scale
15:11these infrastructure problems sound expensive how much would it realistically cost to build a nationwide
15:17hydrogen network could the existing power grid actually handle widespread ev adoption without major upgrades
15:24building a proper nationwide hydrogen refueling network would cost tens of billions of euros
15:31far more expensive per station than ev chargers as for the power grid studies show that with smart charging time
15:40of use tariffs and gradual rollout
15:43most developed countries can handle 30 to 50 percent ev adoption without catastrophic upgrades beyond that significant investment in grid
15:54modernization storage and renewable generation will be required scalability and regional differences are probably the most important factors people overlook
16:05what works brilliantly in norway or california may not make sense in rural spain poland or parts of africa
16:14in countries with abundant cheap renewable electricity and dense populations evs have a massive advantage
16:22in countries with excellent existing diesel infrastructure and long distance driving needs hvo offers a very practical bridge solution
16:32hydrogen could be ideal for heavy trucks buses and ships petrol and diesel will likely remain relevant in developing nations
16:40and remote areas for many years because the infrastructure already exists and is cheap to maintain
16:47the future is almost certainly not one technology wins it's going to be a smart regionally adapted mix of solutions
16:56this regional aspect is fascinating which countries are best positioned for evs versus hydrogen
17:04what should developing countries focus on right now countries like norway sweden and the netherlands are best
17:10positioned for evs due to strong renewable energy and dense populations countries with lots of renewable
17:17potential but poor grid infrastructure might benefit more from hydrogen in the long term developing countries should
17:25focus on pragmatic solutions improving public transport adopting hvo where possible and strategically building ev
17:34infrastructure in cities while keeping flexible fuel options for rural areas the smartest strategy is
17:41technology neutrality supporting whichever solution makes the most sense locally let's talk about the number
17:48that hits every buyer first the purchase price this is where perception and reality often clash
17:56dramatically many people believe electric vehicles are now cheaper than combustion cars in reality as of 2025
18:052026 a well-equipped tesla model 3 long range still sits around 48 000 euros to 55 000 euros in
18:15europe
18:15after incentives a comparable mercedes c 400 petrol starts at about 52 000 euros to 58 000 euros while the
18:25hydrogen hyundai nexo
18:27remains significantly more expensive at 65 000 euros to 72 000 euros the hvo compatible mercedes c 300d
18:38lands in a similar range to the petrol version
18:41what most buyers don't see what most buyers don't see is that evs often come with larger wheels bigger
18:47batteries and premium tech as standard which inflates the price hydrogen vehicles carry the massive cost of
18:55fuel cell stacks high pressure tanks and specialized materials meanwhile traditional petrol and hvo cars
19:03benefit from decades of optimized low-cost manufacturing at massive scale the sticker price is what
19:11stops most people from switching which technology currently offers the best price to performance ratio
19:18why are hydrogen cars still so much more expensive than everything else great questions right now the
19:24tesla model 3 gives the best price to performance for most drivers who can charge at home hydrogen cars
19:31are expensive because fuel cell technology is still in low volume production each vehicle
19:38contains rare materials and extremely complex engineering over the next five to seven years we expect
19:45hydrogen prices to drop significantly as production scales but today they remain a premium choice once you own
19:53the car the real cost battle begins operating costs tell a completely different story than purchase price
20:01electric vehicles win dramatically here electricity is far cheaper than petrol or diesel in most countries
20:10a tesla model 3 can cost as little as three to five euros per 100 kilometers when charged at home
20:16compared to 12 to 16 euros for petrol and 10 to 13 euros for hvo maintenance is also much lower
20:25no oil changes no spark plugs no exhaust system and regenerative braking reduces brake wear significantly
20:34hydrogen is more expensive to operate currently around 12 to 18 euros per 100 kilometers depending on station prices
20:44hvo is slightly cheaper than regular diesel but still much more expensive than electricity
20:51petrol cars have the highest running costs but benefit from widespread cheap maintenance everywhere
20:57running costs can make or break long-term ownership how big is the real difference in monthly fuel
21:03costs between these four options does lower maintenance on evs actually make up for the higher purchase price
21:09the monthly fuel cost difference is massive an average driver can save 150 to 250 euros per month with an
21:20ev versus
21:21petrol over eight years that adds up to 15 000 to 24 000 euros in savings yes lower maintenance on
21:31evs does help close
21:33the gap on the higher purchase price especially for high mileage drivers for someone doing 20 000 plus
21:40kilometers per year evs usually become the cheapest option after four to five years now we reach the moment of
21:48truth total cost of ownership tco over eight years including purchase price fuel energy maintenance insurance and
21:59residual value this is where the picture becomes very interesting in countries with good home charging and
22:07moderate mileage 15 000 kilometers per year the tesla model 3 often comes out on top after six to seven
22:15years
22:16hydrogen nexo struggles because of high purchase price and currently expensive fuel hvo mercedes offers a very
22:24balanced middle ground slightly higher running costs than ev but much lower risk and excellent
22:31residual value traditional petrol surprisingly remains competitive in low mileage scenarios
22:38or in countries with very cheap fuel this is the slide everyone has been waiting for
22:43which car has the lowest total cost of ownership over eight years
22:48does this tco picture change dramatically depending on how many kilometers you drive
22:52for 15 000 to 20 000 kilometers per year with home charging the tesla model 3 usually wins tco after
23:03year five to six
23:05for lower mileage or people without home charging the mercedes with hvo often wins hydrogen currently has the highest tco
23:17and yes the picture changes completely with mileage above 25 000 kilometers per year evs dominate below 10 000
23:28kilometers per year traditional or hvo combustion cars are usually cheaper overall let's bring this to life with
23:36actual vehicles the tesla model 3 long range is currently one of the strongest all-rounders it offers 600
23:46100 plus kilometers real world range in summer impressive acceleration very low running costs and a fantastic software experience
23:57however
23:58cold weather range drops noticeably charging can still be inconvenient on long trips and insurance and tire costs are higher
24:07than average
24:08let's look at the most popular ev
24:10what are the biggest surprises people experience when they switch to a model 3
24:15is the tesla still the clear winner in 2026 many owners are surprised by how cheap it is to run
24:21and how much they enjoy the instant torque and over-the-air updates
24:27however some miss the simplicity and fast refueling of petrol cars in 2026 the model 3 remains one of the
24:36best
24:36choices for tech savvy drivers with home charging but it's not perfect for everyone the hyundai nexo represents
24:44the current state of hydrogen passenger cars it offers five minute refueling smooth driving and zero tailpipe
24:53emissions the interior is spacious and comfortable however the extremely limited refueling network very high
25:02purchase price and currently expensive hydrogen make it a niche choice suitable only for people who live near
25:09hydrogen stations and want to be early adopters of the technology hydrogen's flagship car what does daily
25:17life with a nexo actually look like will hydrogen cars ever become mainstream daily life with a nexo is very
25:24similar to a normal car except you have to plan your refueling carefully most owners love the refueling speed
25:32but get frustrated by the lack of stations hydrogen has strong potential for heavy transport but for private
25:40cars it will likely remain a premium niche until at least 2030 to 2035 finally we compare two very similar
25:48mercedes models the c300d running on hvo renewable diesel versus the c400 petrol both offer luxury comfort
26:00excellent build quality and strong residual value the hvo version delivers much lower life cycle emissions
26:08while using the existing diesel infrastructure the petrol version is slightly more refined and widely available
26:16everywhere both have higher running costs than ev but much lower risk and easier long distance travel
26:24the classic luxury combustion comparison which one would you personally recommend for a high mileage
26:30driver does hvo actually make diesel cars future-proof for high mileage drivers who need flexibility and
26:38don't have home charging i would currently recommend the hvo mercedes it offers the best
26:45compromise between performance convenience lower emissions and total cost hvo does make modern diesel
26:54cars much more future-proof it's one of the most pragmatic transitional solutions we have right now now that
27:02we've looked at the hard numbers let's talk about where each technology actually shines in real life electric
27:10vehicles are not the universal solution many people claim but they are absolutely outstanding in specific scenarios
27:19evs perform best for daily commuters who drive less than 300 kilometers per day and have access to home
27:27or workplace charging they are perfect for city driving short highway trips and families who value quiet operation
27:35instant torque and low running costs companies with large urban fleets delivery vans taxis
27:44and company cars are seeing massive savings with evs in countries with high electricity from renewables like
27:52norway sweden or france evs deliver both economic and environmental wins we're finally getting to the practical side
28:01in which real life situations do evs clearly outperform everything else are there situations where choosing an ev would
28:09actually be a bad decision evs dominate in urban commuting second car family use and fleet operations with predictable
28:18routes and charging access they are a bad choice for people who frequently drive very long distances without home
28:28charging live in apartments with no charging infrastructure or need to tow heavy trailers regularly
28:38cold climates without preconditioning also reduce their advantage significantly hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are often overhyped
28:46but they do have very strong niche applications they excel where long range and fast refueling are critical
28:54long haul trucking buses trains ships and heavy duty construction machinery for passenger cars hydrogen currently only makes sense for
29:05people who live
29:06very close to one of the few existing hydrogen stations and want zero tailpipe emissions with the convenience of petrol
29:14style refueling
29:15hydrogen has been promised for years in which specific use cases does hydrogen have a clear advantage today
29:23why isn't hydrogen winning in the passenger car market yet hydrogen shines in heavy duty transport where batteries
29:30become too heavy and take too long to charge for passenger cars the biggest barrier remains the almost
29:38non-existent infrastructure and extremely high vehicle cost until we see a dense network of stations and cheaper fuel cell
29:47fuel cell stacks hydrogen will remain a premium niche solution rather than a mass
29:53market technology while everyone focuses on the shiny new technologies
29:59hbo and modern petrol slash diesel engines
30:03are quietly acting as the most practical bridge to the future
30:08hbo hydro treated vegetable oil is a drop-in renewable fuel that works in existing diesel engines and can reduce
30:19life cycle emissions by up to 90 percent compared to fossil diesel combined with modern efficient engines
30:28it offers excellent range fast refueling and uses the existing global infrastructure
30:36petrol cars remain the safest most reliable choice for millions of drivers who don't have easy charging
30:43access sometimes the simplest solutions are the best why should people still consider hbo or petrol in
30:512026 could hbo become the unexpected winner during the transition period hbo and petrol are excellent
31:00choices for people without reliable charging those who drive long distances or who live in regions with poor grid
31:07infrastructure hbo is particularly smart because it allows us to keep using millions of existing vehicles
31:15while dramatically cutting emissions yes many experts now see advanced renewable drop-in fuels like hbo
31:23as one of the most pragmatic and fastest ways to decarbonize transport during the next 10 to 15 years
31:30looking ahead to 2030 to 2040 we won't see one winner we will see a smart mix of technologies
31:40by 2030 evs are expected to reach 40 to 60 percent of new car sales in europe hydrogen will grow
31:48strongly in
31:49heavy transport hbo and synthetic fuels will play a major role in keeping existing combustion engines clean
31:57solid state batteries improved charging infrastructure and cheaper green hydrogen will change the game
32:04by 2040 we should see much more balanced and regionally adapted solutions let's look into the crystal
32:11ball what will the new car market most likely look like in 2035 which technology has the biggest upside
32:19potential by 2040 by 2035 the market will likely be 50 to 60 percent battery electric 20 to 25 percent
32:29hybrid
32:30slash renewable fuel 10 to 15 percent hydrogen in commercial vehicles and the rest traditional or synthetic fuels
32:41the biggest upside lies in next generation solid state batteries for evs and green hydrogen production
32:51at scale the real winner will be the technology that best combines cost convenience and sustainability
33:00for each specific use case and region none of this future will happen automatically it requires smart policy
33:08and massive infrastructure investment governments need to stop picking winners and instead support
33:15technology neutral policies we need massive investment in renewable electricity generation grid
33:22modernization strategic hydrogen hubs and continued support for advanced biofuels like hvo charging
33:30infrastructure in apartments and rural areas remains one of the biggest bottlenecks politics will shape our
33:37future what should governments do differently right now which single infrastructure investment
33:43would have the biggest impact governments should focus on technology neutrality heavy investment in
33:49renewable energy and grid capacity and targeted support for hard to decarbonize sectors like heavy transport
33:56the single biggest impact would come from dramatically expanding home and workplace charging infrastructure
34:03combined with smart grid management this would accelerate ev adoption more than any other single measure after
34:10looking at all the data the most likely future is not a single technology victory but a diverse intelligent mix
34:19battery electric vehicles will dominate short to medium distance personal transport
34:25hydrogen will power heavy duty and long distance commercial vehicles
34:30advanced renewable fuels like hvo and synthetic e-fuels will keep existing and new combustion engines relevant and much cleaner
34:41the future of mobility will be pragmatic not ideological what does the realistic winning strategy look like
34:49how should individuals and companies choose their next vehicle the winning strategy is to match the technology
34:56to the actual use case and local conditions for most private drivers with home charging
35:03go electric for long distance heavy use or no charging access consider hvo or petrol for now companies should build
35:14mixed fleets the most important thing is to stay flexible and data-driven rather than dogmatic
35:22the future belongs to those who choose the right tool for the right job after this deep analysis here are
35:30the clearest takeaways
35:32no technology is perfect each has its strengths and weaknesses evs like the tesla model 3 currently offer the best
35:41combination
35:41of low running costs performance and emissions for drivers who can charge conveniently
35:49hydrogen vehicles like the hyundai nexo show great promise for fast refueling and zero tailpipe emissions but they are
35:57still limited by infrastructure and cost hvo powered diesels and modern petrol cars remain the most practical choice for
36:07many drivers today especially those needing flexibility long range or without easy charging access
36:15time to wrap up the key points what is the single most important takeaway from this entire comparison
36:21should people wait for better technology or choose now the most important takeaway is stop thinking in
36:28absolutes the future is a mix of technologies don't wait for a perfect solution choose the technology that best
36:37fits your specific needs driving patterns and infrastructure access today for most people with home charging
36:44an ev is already the smart choice for others hvo or petrol is still perfectly rational make decisions based on
36:54real
36:55data not hype the automotive industry is in the midst of a transformative phase with a clear shift towards
37:01sustainable and efficient propulsion systems electric vehicles such as the tesla model 3 long range
37:09have emerged as front runners in this transition offering impressive energy efficiencies and significantly
37:16reduced emissions thanks to rapid advancements in battery technology and energy management systems hydrogen fuel cell
37:25vehicles like the hyundai nexo while still in their early stages present a promising alternative with
37:32their zero emission driving capability and potential for rapid refueling at the same time vehicles relying on diesel
37:40and gasoline represented by the mercedes c300d with hvo and the mercedes c400 petrol continue to hold a
37:51significant market share the introduction of hvo as a cleaner drop-in renewable fuel has the potential
37:58to reduce life cycle emissions dramatically while making use of existing infrastructure and millions of
38:04current vehicles there is no single winner the most intelligent path forward is a pragmatic technology
38:10neutral mix that matches the right solution to the right use case and region does this mean we should
38:15support all technologies instead of picking one what message should policy makers and individuals take away
38:21exactly we should support all low carbon technologies rather than picking winners policymakers need to invest in
38:31renewable electricity grid modernization hydrogen hubs where it makes sense and advanced biofuels like hvo
38:40individuals should choose honestly based on their lifestyle the future of mobility will be diverse practical and
38:47regionally adapted not one size fits all we've explored the real numbers the practical realities and the honest
38:54trade-offs between ev hydrogen hvo and petrol the data shows that the transition to sustainable mobility is complex but
39:04also full of
39:05opportunity the road ahead is not about choosing one hero technology it's about building a smarter more flexible
