I sat in a CISO meeting where Martin Ebwrgard (actual founder of Tesla) spoke and he said the problem with hydrogen is you’re spending energy to create the hydrogen energy for the car which is inefficient compared to electricity. Then you expend energy to get the hydrogen back into electricity. So, great idea but I don’t know if it’ll be the long term solution over electric due to that.
That's all fine, but time is possibly more important. Electric cars take too long to charge. Solve that problem and it won't matter if they are slightly less efficient. If you can get it to roughly the same time as filling up your car with case it will be adopted. If I recall correctly, something like that happens with Solar - something to do with converting from DC to AC for battery storage.
