> getting 1kg of hydrogen from water takes about 60kWh of electricity

Maybe so, but then water is an extremely stable molecule. At present, don't we get our FCX hydrogen by cyphoning it off natural gas before it's fed into the mains gas supply?

> setting up a hydrogen filling station infrastructure of any meaningful size is going to be Biblically expensive

If only we already had a filling station infrastructure in places like Swindon and Sheffield...

Bottom line, the charge-times on the electric vehicles are going to have to be reduced to a single digit number of minutes, not a number of hours to be practical, and that's where the Hydrogen vehicles have got 'em beat.
