That is, if customers can find the hydrogen to power it.

That'd be my big concern; where tf would you re-fuel it?

There one single hydrogen fuel station in each of the two major cities near me.

To be fair, EV's had that same obstacle, and have pretty much overcome it.

I disagree, EV are the exact opposite. Electricity was EVERYWHERE even before the EV were a thing.

A regular plug can charge an electric car and for few thousands $ you can install an 11 or 22kW charger.

Hydrogen on the other hand is extremely hard to store and transport. Unlike electricity the hydrogen production is very limited right now and full of unknown.
