Hydrogen is only good for large scale power plants because storage and transportation are insanely expensive, I've written this many times. For mobile vehicles it will never be competitive against battery electric especially as batteries get more energy dense. Honda is disappointing, and their lack of investment in EVs just shows that their executives have short profit vision.

Hydrogen as vehicle energy storage is about 30% efficient. Terrible.

It is useful for producing green fertiliser though.
