We have had a number of threads on H2 fuel vehicles, the problems are that:
1) Hydrogen is just an energy storage material, that is you store power from some electrical source in compressed H2. It is not a fuel.
2) Compressed H2 has a very poor energy density, 0.07 compared to 1.00 for gasoline. Even cryogenic liquid H2 isn't that much better

So if you could use 1 gasoline tank truck to supply a gas station you would need over 14 equivalent trucks to supply a H2 station. Great for the truck drivers union tho.
