Also, standardized cardridges could be swapped at fuel stations (which was the original business plan of Better Place, in case anyone can remember). Also, this would allow a service to charge cars parked in areas of high population density with a lack of charging stations. Cardridges could be handled like jerrycans, making range anxiety a thing of the past.

THere are meny potential use cases where green hydrogen would make sense, even if people with calculators will tell you differntly.

I can charge my car anywhere that has electricity, which is essentially everywhere. I was able to charge my car to 100% while on vacation off of a regular wall outlet, dozens of miles from any gas station.

Hydrogen is useless at this point. I don't want to have range anxiety with ICE/hydrogen and worry about jerrycans/cartridges. I want the confidence that I can refuel literally anywhere.

Yeah if we could pop in hydrogen cartridges like batteries that'd be ideal. Currently hydrogen cars are fueled up like gas cars which limits their range. I don't know why they don't have replaceable cartridges.
