DOE targets 5k hrs of operation for fuel cells used in transportation. I haven't been able to find an hours of operation for batteries.

On the whole it seems batteries are in the lead at this point, but both are near the expected baseline for automobiles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_battery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_battery
