The Honda FCX travels about 280 miles on a charge. The Tesla travels about 220 miles.



Current world: gas tanks are currently stored underground. So you could remove the storage tanks, and put the batteries down there. Keeping the same area foot print. So that would solve that problem.
With hydrogen, it is likely that most companies would use a similar solution. Replacing the gas storage tanks, with hydrogen tanks. But because hydrogen is a gas, you can store more hydrogen in the same space as would be needed to store the batteries.

How do you figure that? Being a gas has nothing to do with it.
It's all about energy density. Hydrogen's is fixed, it aint' changing any time soon.
Batteries on the other hand are improving and though they may not be able to transport as much energy as an equivalent volume of hydrogen right now, there is room to improve and the possibility that they will pass hydrogen.
