Nice try, but your argument is specious.

At the time when EV sales were "laughably low" and charging stations were almost non-existent, hydrogen cars were also on the starting block with laughable low stats. The numbers we have today are a measure of what's happened in the interim. Also, the very huge player Toyota has just admitted that its electric car effort has failed, but hydrogen might be a thing for heavy vehicles. So hydrogen for cars is actually in a worse place now than it was in those old "laughable" days. It's going backwards.

So how do you think hydrogen can stop being laughable? What's different now? What is its place and how does it get there? If you are implying that hydrogen could take off in the next five years in the way EVs have in the last five years, you should tell Toyota, tell Shell how to do it. I'm not knocking it, hydrogen has a certain elegance, H2, the most common element in the universe, produces lovely H2O when combusted, very nice! But how do you make it work?
