Refueling/recharging infrastructure is going to be an on-going problem.  Hydrogen would work pretty well for trains, though.

I think we've missed the mark by not going hydrogen to start. My auto client who handles EV repairs says it is impossible to put out a battery fire once it is lit. All of the garage and under level parking will be a major fire hazard where if one car goes up, it will probably take the entire building with it.

As I mentioned, that's a lot of why we have Lithium-Iron batteries for the house instead of Lithium-Cobalt. I think this is a problem particular to Lithium-Cobalt (or at least particularly acute in Li-Co batteries), which is what you have in power tools, laptops, phones and all Tesla products, including the Powerwall.

Not that hydrogen is not flammable/explosive though. Hydrogen fires tend to be less destructive than gasoline fires though - the Hindenberg hydrogen burned out in 90 seconds. One engineer said that if the planes that hit the Twin Towers had been hydrogen-fueled, the towers likely would not have come down.

Only 6k high-speed charging stations in the US;

I think a better comparison would be the number of publicly available charging stations.

This article says there are 46k, totaling 116k ports but only 6k of them are fast-charging:

Agreed. I'm guessing this is only really viable for daytime spots while parked at worked.
