Hydrogen has many, many, many issues, including the minor one that it requires us to build a brand new nationwide production, storage, and distribution system from scratch. Whereas we HAVE an electric grid.

The fuel cells themselves are full of precious, scare materials like platinum. which means you end up facing many of the mining problems as EVs.

All of the current means of hydrogen production require vast amounts of power, are not carbon-neutral, entail significant distribution and storage losses, and, not so inconsequently, the equivalent amount of hydrogen to power a vehicle costs about 3-4x that of gasoline.

You’re much better off taking the electricity and putting it directly into an EV as opposed to taking said power, using it to produce hydrogen, storing said hydrogen, then pumping it into a vehicle and then using a fuel cell to convert it back into the electricity you had in the first place.

Power loss in that cycle hits almost 70%.
