Hydrogen has its own limitations. To be practical you have to either store it as liquid or compressed gas, otherwise the energy density is way too low. Both options take energy. It also tends to be leaky because the molecules are small.
Compared to that, electric car is a decent bet. It's true that the electricity has to come from somewhere, but in foreseeable future the source of energy will be increasingly clean and renewable. It'd help if people don't easily panic about nuclear power plants.
