For heavy load applications Hydrogen is a much better answer than EVs. I made 2 hydrogen vehicles (combustion based, not power-cell based) and they worked great.
A few months ago it was finished testing the first hydrogen extraction equipment direct from sea water, which would make hydrogen production far less expensinve to produce.
The problem with Hydrogen right now is storage and distribution, we don't have the infrastructure built for that.
