There are challenges to every technology. But on the whole, hydrogen cars are a "solved" problem. We can all switch to them if we wanted to. The problem is BEV propaganda making shit up against hydrogen cars. This is really an attempt to block progress.
BEVs are a very limited idea. Not everyone can own one. The grid is not setup to handle hundreds of million of BEVs charging. And the resource requirements make them effectively unsustainable in their own right. So in reality, it's time to scale back our obsession for BEVs. If for nothing else, so we can have a backup option. The last thing we want is a BEV monopoly.

but are hydrogen cars really a solved thing? theres no infrastructure, like at all, to cater for them. while there is early, but increasing infrastructure for EV’s. If the choice was between hydrogen and petrol absolutely, roll that shit out today, like I mentioned im not against hydrogen power, but EV kind of has the momentum and logic behind it. With rooftop solar an EV is a no brainer, especially if you can charge during daytime

Lack of infrastructure is the only issue left. The problem with BEVs is that not everyone can own one or afford one. People who insisting on BEVs because they are doable now are doing what the people who pushed for diesel cars did a decade ago. It is just a short-term idea that will eventually backfire.
