Is that the cost of the fuel itself, or the high cost of providing it in a world with little infrastructure?


At its best, generating hydrogen and then putting it through a fuel cell is less than 50% efficient, and that's discounting all the losses present both in BEVs and hydrogen cars.

Hydrogen combustion engines slash that efficiency in half.

Even if you handwave over the hardware required to do all that, the cost is double that of equivalent electricity.
