This is a legitimate problem that will need to be solved.Most Americans live in apartments and condos, and don't have the ability to charge at home. Many others can charge only at Level 1, which require 10 hours or more for full charge.
That is false. Although obviously charging takes longer than filling up a tank with gas, 30-40 minutes is more realistic.even "Superchargers" require over an hour for full charge.
It's not going to happen. Make a note and check back here in 10 years. I predict you'll see massive BEV rollout and infrastructure improvement and almost no progress on (or perhaps abandonment of) fuel cell light vehicles (i.e. cars).Yes delivery logistics are inferior now for hydrogen, but like superchargers (which are not widespread either) that will change with adoption of fuel cell vehicles just like with battery cars. At least you can store hydrogen in tanks, which are much cheaper than huge batteries. Infrastructure evolves.
[edit] I should add: I have no philosophical objection to hydrogen fuel cells. I just don't think the end-to-end solution is going to be able to compete with batteries for a very long time, if ever, at least not for light vehicles.
