FCEVs are a much greater departure from gasoline than other alternate fuels such as ethanol and CNG, which are also much easier to store than hydrogen. It's impossible to not compare FCEVs to ethanol-capable flexfuel cars and the CNG conversions, which required not only a previous effort to increase their availability but also competitive prices in order to attract ordinary customers in countries where such options are more widely accepted.
