The severity of the punishment should be on par with the number of people affected by the fraud and how much they were affected. Just because there wasn’t any violence doesn’t mean people aren’t being hurt. For all we know, there are people who lost their homes because they were all in on that investment. Regardless, 4 years is not enough to get these criminals to stop doing things like this.

next year it will be "Enride Motors, like Hyzon but Worse".

The way to do a hydrogen truck right is to increase the size of the battery that it needs to compensate for low fuel cell power, to the point that it doesn't need wimpy fuel cells nor extremely expensive hydrogen from a non-existent refueling network. Hydrogen is dead for land transportation, It can't compete with battery vehicles that are cheaper to buy and much cheaper to operate.

Bet these guys would like a do-over. Maybe they'd be interested in the time machine I've built. I have MANY orders pending!

Glad to see more people are starting to talk about Hyzon.

They should be plug-in diesel-electric hybrid type trucks for immediate mass deployment but then the option to slap a fuel cell and hydrogen tanks on it at the point where that makes sense as an alternative to diesel… once you electrify the drivetrain it’s easy to reconfigure the power source because the requirements are that it be a generator, essentially.
