The advantage of e-engines is the fact the got 100% torque from almost 0rpm - no wonder they win.

The problem is not increased use but technology itself.
Production of H2 has only some 60% efficiency - i.e. for 100W you put into h2 production you'll get <60W worth of H2.
Of those 60W you'll lose another 50% if you turn them back into energy.
Using it on vehicle comes with a few other problems as well:
- 1L H2 = .3L gasoline
- H2 Tanks are
tiny bit heavier than gasoline tanks
You basically use the same argument and hope for Fusion Power.
