Toyota even states how this year they will be releasing a car, in California, which is completely run on Hydrogen and there will be multiple stations that provide Hydrogen for refills. The article states how the excess runoff from the car is completely clean water and there are no polluting gasses. The positive looks of the car is that there is also no noise pollution and has great acceleration. Electric car providers have also argued with the outcome of the Hydrogen vehicle and even though there are downsides to hydrogen there are also some to Electric cars. The electric cars do not go for very long or far and have to take time to recharge often.
