Or explosive, it's actually quite a safe fuel supply, and it's very clean.
Including the water that is actually exhaust.

I understand both of these and I don't like the entire concept. It requires an entirely new infrastructure that is expensive and complex.

I have also never seen an economic argument that shows that hydrogen vehicles can compete with battery electrical vehicles.

Hydrogen vehicles were always concept cars that looked neat but were used by auto manufacturers to show that alternate fuels would never work and used to convince average consumers that they should stick to gasoline vehicles.

Yes, yes, I've seen Metallic Hydrogen, high pressure systems, and other ideas. Nothing seemed as simple and effective as a battery.

The "Hydrogen Economy" always seemed like a "we can advance power density faster than battery technology" sales pitch that never actually lived up to the hype.

I'll just gesture towards Tesla and (now) every other manufacturer desperately trying to imitate them.
