2x better than a technology that benefits from the enormous, monstrous economies of scale that lithium ion batteries do is a folly. Every portable electronic device benefits from lithium ion improvements. That's how Tesla was able to launch: use the commodity 18650s from laptops as a relatively low cost cell.
There's a fundamentally better argument to shifting everyone to hybrids (extreme bang for buck for CO2 emission reduction) than FCEVs.
