I'd like to point out that LIQUID hydrogen is extremely unrealistic in terms of modern tech. It would have to be stored at very low temps not feasible for car storage. What all hydrogen cars use IRL is COMPRESSED hydrogen, which is gaseous and not a liquid and very much at room temperature. Also, would like to point out industrial-scale production of hydrogen car fuel is much more expensive than batteries would be, and a battery is an investment that lasts you for years, while you need to fuel up on hydrogen just as much as a gas car, but with really expensive fuel.
