Where does the article say this? I don't see it. Nor is the article specifically about first adopters. And it does not even mention the Volt. What it does do is specifically mention online cross-shopping data suggesting people shop simultaneously for conventional and alternative drivetrain vehicles. But the reasons for the choices made are sketchy, apparently, according to Edmunds.com.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. That hydrogen car-buyers never switch to another drivetrain? If so, what's the citation for that?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
