    Li-Ion batteries do charge quickly and have high capacities.

    I’m not sure they would survive nearly as long as lead-acid, but I’m sure that they would be way less complicated and dangerous than hydrogen.

      Not really. Hydrogen is actually a lot safer than people imagine. It’s about as safe as compressed natural gas (because it’s basically the same thing physically) which is very widely used in industrial vehicles and machinery with few problems.
