I've seen a few people have the opinion that electric is just a mid point before we get to hydrogen cars.

But it doesn't really make sense to me.  Unless the issues with the batteries are unsolvable from a law of nature point of view.  
batteries are terrible for the environment to make and recycle.  

lithium is a very limited resource on earth,. there really isn't enough for it to be the backbone of our energy needs. 

hydrogen is more energy dense.  to get a car to go a mere 300 miles on EV batteries it currently takes hundreds of pounds of battery.  a compressed hydrogen car will exceed 1000.  a liquid hydrogen car would be 10,000. 

EV is slow to charge hence why no is talking about battery as a service.  to go long distance you need to swap batteries.  compressed hydrogen could be refueled like a gas car.
