Name one?
How about more than one? Short range, long charge times, reduced payload capacity, extensive terminal infrastructure required for charging, and high initial cost.

There's a reason all Walmart and some Amazon warehouse and distribution centers use hydrogen fuel cell forklifts instead of electric ones. The cost of buying enough forklifts and chargers to keep them all operating 24/7 factoring in charge times was too high to go electric.

Uh nm. You were going to say range or towing. Then I would say what if a person doesn't need that towing ability or range, then it's not a compromise. Then I would find out what truck you have, finding the towing capacity, then find a diesel with higher and saying your truck also has compromises so what's the difference.
Then i would scould you about subjectivity and not considering others. Finally i would claim that hydrogen is only supported because republicans hate evs and they hate evs because democrats like them so the whole thing is bs.

There are EV suvs and trucks
Yeah.. I'm still trying to understand the upside of hydrogen.
It could be a loophole to get ICE vehicles in no emission zones.
That's literally the only thing I can think of.
The same people that love to spread "omgwtfbbq this Tesla won't stop burning and EVs suck" videos are for a system that requires large extremely high compression tanks of extremely explosive gas on every vehicle and normal people trying to refuel said system regularly.
I don't get it. Any of it.
