Sure but they don't have electric vehicle recharging electricity.

They have run the pumps and power the lights electricity.

Still seems like a smaller investment to get a bigger cable than H2 infrastructure (Tanks, Pumps, maybe even electrolysis system).

True, but they already exist.

Hydrogen stations don’t. If you have to build new ones, especially if you have to supply them with enough power to create their own hydrogen for water, what’s the difference from just building EV chargers?

And if you’re going to add hydrogen to existing gasoline stations then same question.

If hydrogen was somehow able to use existing gasoline infrastructure it would make a lot more sense. But it’s not.

H2 can be transported by trucks. Must lay expensive hydro infrastructure to do the same for electricity.

		But not by the same trailers, not stored in the same tanks as gasoline, nor transferred by the same pumps. This like saying obviously we can distribute grain using gasoline infrastructure: after all, also both transported by trucks.
