Hydrogen is interesting for remote use cases, but the 10-15 year old used Leaf and Volt market argue against your second point. Most battery issues will be discovered in the first few years and after that it's minimal (1-10%) loss after a decade, using far older tech than today's models. The industry does need some standardization on battery modules to ensure less e-waste, more mechanics, and better pricing.
