The hydrogen tech you refer to is very much part of that “electric car revolution”. A hydrogen fuel cell is, in effect, a battery that you refill like a gas tank.
BEV = battery
electric vehicle
FCEV = fuel cell

He said “hydrogen combustion”. You can’t buy such a vehicle - there are none on the market (and probably never will be).

I don't think anyone who's experienced EV life is going to want to go back to routinely filling up at public filling stations, so IMO hydrogen needs to win out before a significant portion of the people go EV. Once you've gotten used to charging at home, going to a gas (or hydrogen) station feels like a huge waste of time.

The exact opposite could easily be true too, though.
An electric car with both a fuel cell and a battery would actually be very practical. Something like this:
