hydrogen cars are electricity cars with extra steps, the gas isn't burned but converted to electricity in a fuel cell to recharge a tiny battery

the monetary and environmental cost of a 50kwh battery (people shouldn't want/need SUVs with 200 kwh batteries) is quickly offset when in order to make hydrogen you have to reform methane and deliver it all over the country via trucks
