The only way it would fail is if there is a major breakthrough in hydrogen storage technology in which case the existing gas station model would remain viable. Calling the transition to BEVs wishful thinking makes absolutely no sense at this stage of the game.

That's just more BS from those who want a BEV monopoly. The breakthrough in hydrogen storage technology has happened long ago. It is only a matter of cost reduction. The biggest weakness of BEVs is that it is a stagnant technology while alternatives are materializing.
