  But theoretically the storage can scale well and it’s relatively cheap, albeit who really knows about the price for storage since there are no at scale storages out there yet.

  it’s only zero emission if you use a fuel cell

  What do you mean by this? However you burn it, it’s zero emission, isn’t it?

    Yes

    Burning hydrogen also just produces water as emission

  The single advantage hydrogen has over batteries is that the “refueling” is pretty much instantaneous. If charging infrastructure and technology improves, there will be no reason to bother with it anymore.

    IIRC, pumping hydrogen is only fast if the pump has a substantial rest between vehicles. Get a line of FCEVs wanting filled and you’re looking at filling times not much faster than charging a battery EV.

        From what I understand it’s transported in liquid form and stored as a gas at the station and in the cars.
