During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output.

First, hydrogen is not as readily attained and certainly not as available as ubiquitous electricity. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term.

GM says it is working to reduce the amount of time the switchover from grid to car power takes, but that it will inevitably be slower than home battery solutions (which can respond in only a couple seconds, or even less than a second) because those stay continually energized, whereas the car requires more communication and a wake-up process.
