Honda will lease you a fuel cell 2020 Clarity for $379 a month. That is a little cheaper than the $389 a month for the 2020 Toyota Mirai. Both come with a fuel card for $15,000 worth of hydrogen.
I would wait the for the 2021 Mirai though. WAY better looking than the outgoing 2020 model and RWD.

Just a proof of concept but this guy makes a super-capacitor out of clay and activated charcoal. Robert Murray-Smith: Making A Battery From Mud

Carbon-based capacitors are not unheard of, even though they're more suitable for quick charge and discharge cycles.

Also suitable for what you can make out of materials from a patch of ground. And a kiln.

Even though I wouldn't expect the average Joe to make an EV battery pack out of dirt from the backyard, I can't deny it would be impressive if someone did it. |

Hard not to be on team Rivian after watching this video;
Still, Ford's ability to do vehicle to home power transfer is compelling. The F150 might be at the top of my list. |

Only concern with the Rivian, giant battery pack for the range... is there an electrical equivalent to the term "gas guzzler?" Someone should coin one. |
I've been using 'Watt-guzzler.'

Bollinger
If I were in the demographic which COULD purchase a Bollinger, I'd have to boycott them on moral and ethical grounds.
If you're goal was to cause great injury to the vehicle electrification transition, I can't imagine a better weapon for which to affect it. Why they could even obtain a corporate charter causes me to lose all faith in mankind.

Isn't Bollinger the one that has a dog-house door under the dashboard?
