Answer 1

In short – because electricity is abundant and everywhere, and hydrogen is not.

In order to support a decent sized number of hydrogen vehicles, we’d need to build infrastructure to make hydrogen available around the country so they could be refuelled.

We don’t need to do that for electricity because the network already exists. It’s the national grid.
