There is an electrical use case that hydrogen can solve that batteries cannot (at least not anytime soon): moving energy without relying on transmission infrastructure. On the one hand, this is absurd: transmission lines are all over, are quite efficient, and work today. On the other hand, in some markets (cough California), the incumbent utility prices are rather divorced from actual costs. The ability to make hydrogen, move it on a truck, and turn it into electricity somewhere else, even at 40% overall efficiency, could be much less expensive than selling electricity to PG&E and buying it back elsewhere.
