"[Hydrogen]'s just a battery that gives you a much larger range than other types."
Well-put. In the automotive space, there's a lot of rhetoric about fuel cells not being clean or green or whatever because the hydrogen "has to come from somewhere." That's true of all electricity, whether store for use in vehicles in the form of hydrogen or in a lithium battery. Most people, rationally, wouldn't say that BEVs are the same as gasmobiles, since the electricity stored in their batteries have to come from somewhere, and that somewhere could well be a fuel they don't happen to like (conceivably even diesel).
Hydrogen fuel cells are usually something like 50% efficient.
