I think hydrogen technology faces the same economic hurdles as electricity. It is incredible expensive to provide (ironically, requires large amount of electricity IIRC).
IMHO, the technology that makes the most sense today is natural gas. Its abundant, domestic, and produces significantly lower carbon emissions. The technology to convert large fleets as well as heavy vehicles already exists and the distribution infrastructure is largely place. From there it is not a huge leap to create consumer natural gas powered vehicles. Most of today's internal combustion engines can run on natural gas with modifications too.
