And don’t forget it’s way faster to refill a hydrogen tank than an battery.
For now, this should change with solid state batteries

Also, cars are such a big industry it’s actually easier to not have a middleman (hydrogen -> electric grid -> EVs) because all the infrastructure would have to be built without any real need for it.

Is faster, but with modern EVs it’s really not a problem.
Depart home with 100%, drive for 4 hours, stop to grab an meal and use the facilities and the car is finished before you. Modern EVs take 15 minutes to go 20-80% charged.
Hydrogen is 3x less energy efficient than a battery electric vehicle. It certainly has use cases, but it came 20 years too late for light vehicles.
