BEVs are vastly faster to refill in many cases if you measure what really matters (driver waiting time).

If you look at the current state of things, hydrogen cars are even more expensive and are impossible to own in most of the country. That might change in the future but it’s hard to match the infrastructure advantage of having millions of “fueling stations” in the form of electrical outlets, and BEVs continue to improve as well.

Oh, no argument that hydrogen cars are ridiculously priced and practically useless (I guess that's why they only sell them in California).

As battery capacity improves, charging from a regular outlet will only take longer and longer. And driver waiting time is short only if you can charge at home and never care about going anywhere beyond the charging range. It does work for a large number of people, but is a non-starter for a large segment as well.
