Why are you not focusing on developing hydrogen solutions to power vehicles?

Hydrogen is not energy efficient – it uses 3 times more energy to make than it releases. There are also storage considerations. Hydrogen has to be kept at supercool temperatures at enormous pressure. Hydrogen is also highly explosive.
