> No, H2 is.

I have driven around a good deal of the world (Alaska to Argentina, around Africa, around Australia and Europe now)

EVERY town or village I have ever seen has some kind of electricity, even if just a solar panel or two for charging phones. I’ve never seen a single one with H2 infrastructure. There is no way the world is going to adopt something so specific and non-existent.



Not a single gas pump existed at one time, yet they are now everywhere, thus invalidating your premise.


> Not a single gas pump existed at one time, yet they are now everywhere

Absolutely, and it took many decades to build them out. Are you willing to wait many decades to drive your H2 car to the stunning, remote or beautiful parts of Africa or South America? (Note, both of those have already been done, many times, by pure EVs)

Note also the build-out of H2 stations is considerably harder than gas stations.

> yet they are now everywhere

Based on my personal experience, that is not true. On many occasions I've driven close to 1000km without a single gas station. Often villages that don't have a gas station do have electricity (and 3G internet now)
