Hydrogen makes no sense for passenger vehicles. It requires building out a massive infrastructure that doesn't exist and is just far less efficient than storing the elecricity in a battery.

Check out this video for more on where Hydrogen does and does not make sense: https://youtu.be/JlOCS95Jvjc

Now what happens as soon as there _is indeed_ sufficient H2 refuelling infrastructure for trucks? (Assuming that it will happen for long haul trucks because BEV trucks will not replace diesel powered ones in the long term)

Doesn't that make FCEV cars look a lot more convenient than BEV cars?
