Hydrogen fuel cell cars (2020)

Charging batteries with solar and wind is much more efficient than producing hydrogen. Why would you not charge batteries during peaks?

Because batteries are laughably costly for long term energy storage. It’s not even close; batteries will never be used for anything but short term storage.

Untrue - long-term energy storage options are being targeted by deep pocketed capital. E.g. Form Energy and Vanadium technologies.

LiON batteries can't do seasonal though - short term only.
