Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars

the fcev market will not grow unless there is some sort of massive investment in the fueling infrastructure. the discussion of which technology bev vs fcev is better is a moot point if customers cannot refuel. That was always the case against EVs. EVs had short ranges and poor charging infrastructure. The government funded chargers for BEVs were not that wide spread or quick. The proliferation of the BEV really started when Tesla took on the insane task of building out their own reliable charging infrastructure. It's been 2+ decades since the Japanese automakers started pushing FCEV and they haven't made much progress in sales or infrastructure. Toyota and Honda continues to push for fuel cell because that is what the Japanese government is pushing for, but there seems to be no path for success for FCEV until someone builds out the fuel infrastructure. Maybe its time for Toyota and Honda to take a page from Tesla and start investing in building out reliable hydrogen stations. Maybe some of these desert states could be producers of hydrogen with the potential of cheap to free energy cost in producing hydrogen with solar?
