Positive press for GM's hydrogen madness. . .

To me reading this article was highly frustrating.
For the most part, they like the hydrogen Equinox. . . But at no point does anyone ask the obvious question: Where's the advantage of this vehicle over a BEV?
The thing has a range of only 150 miles. By comparison a Toyota RAV4 EV can manage about 105 miles with NiMH batteries, and you have to assume with Li-ion could easily match the Equinox. Meanwhile, the electrical grid is everywhere: you can charge at home in your own garage, you can charge from RV hookups. I don't think there's a hydrogen station within 500 miles of my home.
