    As far as I can tell like a million people use them no problem. They need less maintenance and drive better. The limits they have only come up in niche cases, like “I need to cross the Australian outback”.

    There was the one commercial hydrogen car, but I only remember hearing about it from southern California where the gas stations were, and I’m not sure if it’s still being made or they gave up.

      Millions, sure. But that’s still a niche.

      It’s important to note that the car itself is a luxury or extravagance. The most practical form of a car is a bicycle, which most people don’t want. So inevitably, cars always become a way of showing off capacities that you don’t need. Cars with any kind of deficiency get weeded out, simply because they can’t show off those extra capacities. And battery cars have something like that. People will move away from them specifically they can’t do things like crossing the Outback.
