The thing fuel cells have going for them is that "recharging" is at a speed near the current standard; just fill up with hydrogen and go. Batteries are still absurdly slow, and seem likely to remain so. Musk thinks that some combination of drivers putting up with slow charging and engineering battery charging to be faster will be good enough to sell cars, and easier than getting fuel cells (and their fuel distribution network) up to par. He seems to be right. If we all had H2 taps at home, might be a different story. Overnight charging and a decent daily range less than likely use is the only thing that makes battery cars viable.
