Retaining flexibility may prove more valuable than going all in too early on a single bet

Fuel cells are much simpler than ICEs and much lighter than batteries. A fuel cell car could be cheaper than both. Hydrogen-ICE cars are also possible.

Gasoline and natural gas are fossil fuels. Green hydrogen is not. Of course, you can make green gasoline or natural gas (basically what e-fuels are) but both require hydrogen as an input.
