For sure EV are a thing, and I don't think they are going away. But I don't think they'll be the only game in town.
There are quite a few hydrogen cars driving around in Japan, and infrastructure there is almost rolled out. For cars only Toyota is starting to roll them out in California. Some are starting to be sold around Europe as well. I think they've only sold around 700 in the USA.
Natural gas pipeline and storage infrastructure can be used. Because an order of magnitude more gas can be stored as hydrogen, than in lithium batteries I think they will be in the mix.
I definitely think it's a better idea for larger vehicles like trains on lines which aren't electrified.
