Hydrogen never made sense. It is simple thermodynamics.

It still kinda makes sense for long haul trucking, where the inefficiency of hydrogen is still better than the weight (and thus cargo capacity) of just batteries.

It has absolutely lost the war for passenger vehicles and even short-distance trucking.
