They can build a hydrogen car, but they could never be mass produced. Electricity needed for any realistic production numbers would outstrip what the plants that make hydrogen could ever get their hands on....Maybe all not true...just sayin'.

P.S. Also you would likely never be able re-fill hydrogen at home, like you could plug in an EV at home. Probably more "infrastructure" in place already for EV than hydrogen would ever have.

As well - "at home" requires an abundance of home owners to upgrade not only their main panel, but the service to the home from the utility pole as well. 100A panels cannot support EVs being charged at home, so your assumption says these people will not only agree to purchase an EV, but also a costly upgrade to their home power supply...
