Here's another trade-off: performance in cold weather. This coming from someone expecting a low of -18C tonight, and winter doesn't officially start for over another month. "The manager also points to another advantage that will save costs in the manufacture of vehicles: the fuel cell generates heat that can be used both to replace the car’s heating and air conditioning, which would also mean greater energy savings" Cold weather is really hard on batteries and can significantly impact range. On top of that is the extra draw on the batteries to run the heater necessary to keep the occupants from freezing. The one upside of the gasoline engine's inefficiency is harnessing the heat it gives off to keep the interior warm. The amount of heat that requires at highway speeds on a -35C day is... substantial.
