Fuel cells are not gone. There are a couple of fuel cell cars that are available, only in CA I believe. It is likely that it will stay a niche market because of the lack of refueling infrastructure and the cost of building infrastructure for distributing hydrogen. It is probably best for trucks, busses, or other vehicles that come back to a central facility each day that can provide refueling.

It is a fun time to be watching a revolution like this. Lots of people in denial, but I don't think it's stoppable. Personally I was rooting for the hydrogen fuel cell approach, but that seems to have disappeared
