Now all we need a few thousand hydrogen refuelling stations
A impossible task
No....hydrogen is very inefficient.....takes LOADS of electricity to make and I mean loads. If you burn it in a ICE car its between 20 to 40% efficient (sane as a petrol engine)..if use use it to generate electricity to power the car (as in fuel cell cars)....it just gets worse. If you use electric to power the car directly its about 90 plus percent efficient. Put the electricity through all the stages to make hydrogen and burn it in an ice car....its around 10% efficient. The numbers just don't add up. And these days making an EV makes hardly any more carbon than building an ICE car. And of course hydrogen burning cars still produce NOX. With current technology and with the percentage of electricity we generate with renewables (about 50%), hydrogen cars just don't add up. Maybe one day.....but with current tech and electricity generation its a no go....both financially and environmentally.

Why hydrogen cars are not the answer | The Car Expert
Imagine an EV with a range of 400 miles, that can be refuelled as fast as a petrol or diesel car yet emits only water. Those are the upsides of a hydrogen fuel cell electric car. So why aren’t they everywhere?Why hydrogen fuel cell cars can't compete with electric cars
Hydrogen fuel cell cars will never be able to compete with battery-electric cars, writes Zachary Shahan. Policymakers should focus on stimulating EVs.Why Hydrogen Will Never Be The Future Of Electric Cars
A decade ago, it seemed like there were two potential contenders to replace fossil fuel for personal transportation – electricity and hydrogen. So why haven’t hydrogen fuel cell vehicles taken off in the same way as battery electric ones, considering their refuelling convenience?
