    There is no large well of ammonia that we can use for fuel. Transforming green electricity into a liquid fuel, whether hydrogen, ammonia or something else invariably results in large efficiency losses compared to battery technology.

      Batteries are not a sustainable solution. For vehicles the size of SUVs, they are a disaster. In reality, the vast majority of transportation will be powered by some kind of chemical fuel. If you must have electrified vehicles, then you should look at trams, trolleybuses, light rail, etc.

        a btter pint would be to bring how batteries don’t work for Semi, planes, and boats. We can easily live a world with out suvs, but wee can’t get by with out freight shipping

      I doubt battery production is easier than creating ammonia fuel. There’s tons of chemical manufacturers available domestically.
