Kind of? Hydrogen can be environmentally friendly, but EVs have big advantages:

  • Creating and burning hydrogen is way less efficient than EVs (almost an order of magnitude)
  • Hydrogen is much cheaper to create in environmentally unfriendly ways (using natural gas etc.)
  • Unless we have massive overproduction of power, the additional energy can be better used to de-carbonify other processes with larger impact

    That's why generating hydrogen during off-peak hours from a nuclear power plant will be very beneficial. It may be less efficient but way better for the environment then lithium
