I just did a quick search. I could buy a used Leaf EV for about $10-18,000 now. Certainly with all of the car makers coming out with new EV models it can look like they are only for the wealthy. They can be less expensive to drive overall with lower 'fuel' costs and lower maintenance costs.
I saw something today comparing fueling transportation (cars) with hydrogen vs electricity. Using hydrogen is like trimming your garden trees with a Swiss Army knife. It is possible, but so much more difficult. There are many steps to make hydrogen for car use. Each of those steps takes energy and therefore costs more. And the vehicle is more complicated. We can move to a green electric supply and power our cars directly with electricity. Hydrogen still has a role, it should be used for purposes that we cannot use electricity for.
I also need to add that we should be aiming to reduce our dependence on cars overall and using more active transportation. That is healthier for us and the planet.
