Despite extensive policy support, hydrogen mobility faces mounting skepticism due to high costs infrastructure gaps, and the rapid expansion. Yet, hydrogen retains strategic value in hard-to-electrify, high-demand applications. This Comment argues for a shift from universal deployment ambitions toward localized, infrastructure-aligned strategies that reflect regional resource conditions and institutional capacities. Aligning hydrogen pathways with spatial realities and distributive considerations is essential for credible, equitable, and context-appropriate mobility transitions.
