6. People will gladly trade some efficiency for time and/or convenience

They do it EVERY DAY.

Would someone who's time is worth $200 per hour trade a 45 minute charge for 5 minute hydrogen fill up? You bet.

Why do people buy cars that get ~20 mpg now? Because they trade efficiency for something else.

Edit to add: This "war' between fuel cells and battery only vehicles is contrary to the goal of getting more EV's on the road. How does someone without a garage to charge in drive an EV? H2 makes it possible.

The future is fuel cells and batteries. Don't believe me, take a look:
