There are several key issues that no one yet has overcome with Hydrogen, cost is king and separating Hydrogen from water is very energy intensive, followed by compressing it for storage which also consumes a large amount of energy. It's way less efficient than simply charging a battery, so hydrogen will inevitably cost a lot more per mile. Then there's the safety implications, typically the tanks in the vehicle are pressurised to 700 bar, that is a worryingly high pressure, hydrogen is atomically the smallest atom and will leak out of pretty much anything. Remember the helium balloons you get at parties, even with aluminiumized plastic the helium defuses straight through in a matter of days. And hydrogen would only leak faster. This is why no automaker has managed to sell more than a handful of fuel cell cars to date. The infrastructure required to support them is also much more expensive to install compared to a bunch of chargers.

Battery technology is not there yet. We took what we have, improved it a little and shoved it into a car. The prototype batteries that are still in labs being further developed will crush the batteries we have today. The amount of lithium needed to make batteries is also ridiculous. It takes a DIESEL truck hours to get down into a mine and drive back up. Then it needs refining and shipped across the ocean to get built. Think how many combustion engines there are on the road/in scrap. The most efficient way is to reuse these engines by adapting them to hydrogen. We know we can make hydrogen using standard electrolysis. Yes using renewable energy will help with that. However, there are materials that can split the hydrogen and oxygen by themselves. Just like EV's, just like combustion engines, it requires research and development. 20 years ago we didn't have EV charging points. The thought of it was absurd. However, we have had LPG for a while. It'll only be a matter of time before hydrogen stations become available once the technology is finalised just like everything else was.
