Toyota, and several other manufacturers, have focused on hydrogen. It seemed as the perfect solution by offerings similar car cost and ranges. Prior to Tesla making even high end electric cars was theoretical. Even now battery powered cars do not have an obvious path to hitting 15k USD and 600km range. The weight to battery ratio is improving bit by bit, but not as fast as cost is improving.
Personaly the chance to charge at home means I would be willing to trade off range and cost for the lower running cost.

Most people drive to work in the morning park their cars for 7-8 hours then drive home or where ever. Cities should be providing car chargers at places where people park their cars at work which is the same period of large solar production and commercially in some cities is selling at zero or negative. At home night charging should be actually discouraged in favor of day time at work charging.
