With EVs, private vehicle owners quickly find out that they do 90+% of their charging at home. For trips that exceed the battery range (200+ miles) the infrastructure is constantly growing and the option of just taking an ICE vehicle is still available. For FCEV, nobody is refueling at home.
My last sentence is taken directly from Gordon Murray - head of McLaren.

In the same way the electrical infrastructure can be upgraded, so can hydrogen delivery. It's not, oh it's possible for EV but nothing else...
