The key point about hydrogen is that the cost of storage capacity (to be distinguished from costs related to charging and discharging rates) is extremely low. So if you need a system to cover very rare extended outages, or to store energy from summer for use in winter, hydrogen is much better than batteries.

Also, hydrogen can be mixed into natural gas, without changing much infrastructure. This is of course only a transitional measure, not an end goal, but doable now and a very cheap one.
