While electric vehicles have garnered significant attention in recent years, hydrogen fuel cells offer a compelling alternative, particularly for heavy-duty and long-range applications where battery-electric solutions face limitations. If it's commercial, they can have a hydrogen fuel station at their warehouse or office," Kilmer remarked. "So they can always fill them up; they've got a reasonable range too."

A hydrogen station is far more expensive to build than people realize. There's also significant explosive risk, as one station discovered. I have feeling a few bad accidents or even purposeful crashes as attacks are going to change minds quickly about using it extensively outside of industry.

It's cheaper than putting a charge point on every parking spot, and far more convenient. It is no more dangerous than a gasoline station.
