Truth to be told I am fed up with the industry pushing electric batteries simply because they already invested in them. We don’t have enough raw materials to convert all the cars to battery powered, nevermind the range issues. Hydrogen is the way forward.
Hydrogen is an absolute pain to store and transport and all the practical hydrogen production methods are dirty right now. It just isn’t even a real option even after years of development.
That’d be green hydrogen. Gray or blue hydrogen, both sourced from methane, is not produced using electricity.
Green hydrogen is practically speaking not cost-effective with current production parameters, and as such, gray and blue rules the day. Hence, hydrogen is effectively just another form of fossil fuel for the time being.
The fossil fuel industry pushes the hydrogen fairy tale partly because they’re the ones who can produce and profit at scale from hydrogen and partly because no one can actually switch to hydrogen for a goodly while yet.
I was sarcastic, now added s.

Complete rubbish. Hydrogen is being produced using electricity - you know, like charging batteries.

Trains are the answer. Last mile with cars or trucks is okay. But not for hundreds or thousands of kilometers.
These two are neither exactly comparable nor mutually exclusive.
