Lithium batteries still seem to have a way to go in energy density currently at around 250-300 wh/kg and going up year over year with a theoretical maximum (Sulfur cathode) of above 2500 wh/kg.

At around 2000 wh/kg you are equivalent to diesel drivetrain energy density both size and weight based on my rough math.

Expensive large hydrogen tanks in a trailer with high pressure lines to tractor seems like it would cause safety and cost issues offsetting much of the benefit.
