So it'd spoil in 2030 at the earliest?

Hydrogen is not 'just' liquid refueling like fossil fuels. The Main difference and obstacle is the high pressure required to enable hydrogen to stay liquid at regular temperatures. I unfortunately can't find the video but I recall some people doing a roadtrip in California in hydrogen cars and there were unfortunately massive infrastructure issues related to stations not working.

High speed EV charging is relatively well understood and even if it has it's issues (grid load specifically) there are bridge technologies that can help to mitigate some issues. Heck I even think that near-site hydrogen powerplants (basically as big batteries) combined with solar could help quite a bit to mitigate the issues of EVs. I just don't really see hydrogen as a future for personal transportation.

the main issue imho is delivering that kind of power through cables - you need the electrical infrastructure to enable 'insane loading'.

Pretty sure in the EU they're required to be firmware locked to 25 km/h max per law.

How often that is upheld is debatable unfortunately.

Yeah, but you also do that one camping trip where you have to drive on a gravel road for like 400 meters (over 1000 foot, can you imagine!?) once every 3 years, so that makes it _totally_ ok buy a literal tank on wheels.

Very simple - convenience.

Most people want to check how much power their PV produces from their phone. Yes, a proper solution like a openDTU that stays local only would be better - but it requires setup which most people simply lack.

Well, the correct german word is to say 'Fachkräftemangel' which in my experience translates to 'We need someone with 20+ years of experience, that we can pay like an intern'
