Why not just have battery-powered electric vehicles instead of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is more versatile. It can be stored for long periods and used for longer-distance travel. The AC Transit fuel cell buses, for example, have a range of 300 miles — far greater than most electric vehicles today. Also, hydrogen-powered vehicles can be refueled in a matter of minutes, rather than the many hours it takes to recharge the batteries in battery-powered electric vehicles.
