How would you like to stop at the hydrogen station everyday to fill up? Basically, hydrogen as a fuel for mobile vehicles sucks! Barring some major scientific breakthrough of course!
If battery operated vehicles could be clean (no smelly and corrosive battery acid boiling out that makes you placard your car as a hazardous materials vehicle) what would be wrong with owing an electric car for a intra city commuter vehicle? You leave in the morning and drive within its range of from 50 to 100 miles. When you return home you plug it in so it can recharge overnight. If living like your ancestors did (staying home at night instead of in the street) cramps your style, then keep your gas guzzler. I am not saying that headlights are not efficient enough for electric cars. You just have to give your electric car some time at home to recharge. This is not conducive to many people's lifestyles.
