This isnt a straightforward problem.. But the pieces to the puzzle are simple enough. From there you make your own personal decision. I wont factor in purchase cost.. Thats an individual decision many of us just dont have a choice in, so I will skip that hurdle.
First. Electic driven vehicles deliver much better energy to the road under driving conditions that any other fuel. So for every Kw of energy you put in, you get more back. Stop/start driving is the killer of any other fuel efficiency not only as it accellerates mass. But as the combustion ratios change and waste fuel terribly. Next an internal combustion engine burning anything will perform best at constant speed under constant load. This principle is best demonstrated in the heavy Diesel/Electic trains.
Third, A hydrogen fuel cell does not burn Hydrogen in the manner of an internal cumbustion engine, but breaks it chemically and produces electricity in doing so. Hydrogen is also capable of being produced in an environmentally friendly manner from water and returns as water vapour, without other pollutants. And hydrogen Fuel cell powered car does not need a battery pack. And can be refueled in normal car filling times.
Now I know which I will be looking at for my new car. But thats a decade off.😷
