problem is the electricity network. It cant handle it. Not a single industrial country can support it today.
It would need a changeable battery or something like it. So low volume can become middle volume from the net cap.
It is a lot of hype. in 20 years things can different but H2 can be also a big player in these markets. Because the energy infrastructure would be already there ( not from h2 but from distribution points of view).
I would not wonder if we see both and EV will be for the more powerful cars and H2 will be for the average.
But a lot of politics on that topic :) So everything can happen
I would think the opposite would be the case. #hydrogen seems like it is better for more powerful operations like mass transit and planes. I could be wrong but it seems like that those are just too difficult with batteries #technology, at least how it stands now (and in the near future).

On heavy machines, EV is more powerful ( maybe aircraft too, but no idea).
The biggest problem is the energy that's needed for loading. No industrial land has the infrastructure to handle it. Today without EVs the networks come on some days to limits and a lot of magnetic field losses.
H2 on the other site can use the same distribution network + it can generate by over energy/spikes in production.
H2 has the problem it is expensive today. But if the efficiency comes from 25%(today) to around 80%production, it would be a real thing :).
I am sure the economies of scale will increase for that once more get involved. It is starting to garner some attention. I am seeing more articles about it whereas 18 months ago, there was a mention here and there.

it is a really exciting topic.
If the energy networks become more efficient and decentral, I can imagine EV´s can have a future.
But also H2. Depending on where the bigger investments happen. Both are expensive.
Green energy into H2 into distribution or rebuild electricity networks to higher capabilities. IMO Both are long-term needed simple because overproducing could be stored in H2.
