This is why I laugh at people who think hydrogen fuel cell cars are going to replace the current ICEVs when in fact BEVs have a huge head start and advantages all the way. I can generate power from my solar panels and drive my car on that electricity. I don't have to visit a fuel station at all. Hydrogen is just a way for the current incumbents to keep addicts hooked on their services. Same goes for boats. They could put large solar panel installs at the dock and recharge the boat while the car is loading or unloading.
