Re: Hydrogen? Seriously?
"Battery electric works in nearly all standard use cases and already has a national supply to every home (almost), road, street."
Precisely. Anywhere with electricity is just an outlet away from being a charge point. Too many people are focused on DC fast chargers when most recharging needs can be met with Level 1 slow charging. If you can plug in at work/home and only travel an average (over a week) of 50 miles/day, you're golden. You can even go further and do a little topping up on a Level 2 charger if there is one where you do your weekly shop. Most people will take the savings and charge on an EV off-peak tariff which could mean leaving many wind turbines switched on instead of needing to take them off line due to too much power being generated.
An entirely new infrastructure would be needed to use Hydrogen as a transportation "fuel". Even if there were Hydrogen stores underground and it could just be tapped off, the costs would still be more than natural gas. That Hydrogen isn't available as a free element just compounds the cost and complexity.
