What about hydrogen?

Range is on par with most ICE gas tanks.
There are more refueling stations for EVs—multiple in every house and building. People could also add some gas tanks to their garage. I do with E85, but EVs typically get charged at home at night. Fast charging stations don’t need to be as plentiful as gas stations. They would only be used for special occasions by most people.
Recharging times are slower when fast charging is needed, but this is currently an infrastructure problem with the current technology. Fast charging will improve, but companies like Niro are proving that swapping is a viable alternative that is faster than filling up with gas.
Hydrogen is less efficient and requires much more infrastructure, so it is more likely to be there in a future where energy is in excess and if there is a limit or bottleneck in battery materials that require small batteries in vehicles.
