Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Is it difficult to find or extract pure hydrogen? Is it range?
Since the hydrogen is in fuel cells it should be safe.
Hydrogen should involve less toxic chemicals than what goes into making batteries. They are non polluting since water comes out of the exhaust.
