How many have shipped? How many gas stations are pumping hydrogen?

That's the beauty of EVs. They can be adopted regardless of what the majority are doing. There is a sizable market of people who can charge EVs (approx 95 million freestanding homes in the US alone, about 60 million are owner occupied). This number is only going to grow. More and more apartments/carparks are being fitted with chargers. It's not a small task, but it can be done gradually, unlike hydrogen. Unless you get some massive coordinated effort between multiple car companies and gas stations to roll out hydrogen refil stations across an entire country in preparation for hoped for sales, people just won't buy them. EV naysayers love to talk about range anxiety for EVs. Imagine the range anxiety if you had a hydrogen vehicle today.
Meanwhile millions of EVs are driving on roads today, with numbers always growing.
