Hydrogen will definitely be in our future. I don't think it will be adopted as fast as BEVs.
Speaking of fuel cells, looks like Rolls Royce has joined the ranks of those looking at that, although no surprise since they also produce "long haul" engines like aircraft and other transport where fuel cells make way more sense than pure battery/electric.
