They're not comparable at all, I just said it as a reaction. The battery is more comparable to how often an engine completely dies. It doesn't, really. Especially the newer ones with proper thermal management.
The tank is cheaper, sure. But the hydrogen itself and infrastructure isn't, and hydrogen isn't even really green 95% of the time. But that's a whole different topic.
How is solar hydrogen collection stations that pull hydrogen out of the atmosphere not green?
It's wasting solar that could be used for better things.
Like powering EVs?
But without the loss of solar to hydrogen convertion.
