Doesn't seem to mention anything about recharge time, which in a transport situation Hydrogen will win 9/10.
refueling with H is gonna blow battery recharge times out of the "water"

But how would a H2 fueling station work? Customers would have to make an extremely tight coupling, and while the compressors pressurize the customers tank. I expect that will take longer then petroleum refueling. And the cost? The bill will have to compensate the fueling station for same fairly exotic tech.
We know fuel cell technology works, and it may have a really important niche. I don’t think we can assume it will be able to compete with EVs on cost and charging time.
The one near my home seems to work, by observing people using it (it's colocated with a gas station) pretty much just like a normal gas station. I'm sure the coupling hardware is quite special, and it might take a little longer (or not) for a similar range fuel load, but when people fuel their Mirais it's the same basic flow as with gas vehicles, pull up to the pump, hook it up, fuel, and go from a drive-in pump, not a parking space. So, it's on the same basic ballpark, UX wise, not the “well, if I was on a long trip and needed to fuel, it's okay because i’ll just time it with a meal/rest break” kind of thing that is used to justify BEV charging not being excessively inconvenient.
Hydrogen is not instant to refuel so the time difference is not too crazy.
Can Hydrogen charge at home?
For ~98% of the days of the year, I don't have to even go to the gas station. For long trips, I'm not sure there's really a difference between a 5-10 minute gas station stop and a 30-40 minute supercharger stop.
