It should not be forgotten, in fact, that "hydrogen cars" are still... electric cars, in which electricity is not taken from batteries but obtained by "disassembling" hydrogen inside the so called "fuel-cells".

Unfortunately, even the use of hydrogen involves problems that are not easy to solve, related to high pressures, low temperatures and high flammability.

Yeah, if you crashed your hydrogen car it really would blow up, like they do in the movies

With today's safety culture, that is a difficult risk to mitigate.
