I constantly see people say they won't buy an EV because of recharge times and not being able to go on a 'road trip'. There seems to be some misunderstanding about how easy it will be to add hydrogen filling stations vs charging stations. While I don't know the % of people that actually care about charge/filling times, there are always some comments. I mean, I know someone in real life that says that, or at least did, and could certainly afford a Tesla, but still chooses a gas vehicle.

Now, will they eventually come around? Maybe, but a refillable combustion engine burning hydrogen certainly has some marketability, and perhaps some companies (like Toyota) made a miscalculation on how easy it would be to get people into EVs vs actually developing Hydrogen vehicles. I have a hard time understanding why Toyota has so little in EV offerings if this is not the case (and Toyota's advertising in Japan still doesn't mention full EV as the future).
