"Beat in what exactly?"
Everything except max range, at the moment. Tho this will change too in next decade.
"Can your golf car tow cars?"
Yes.
"Can your electric mower pack up a family and go on 500 km trip?"
Yes. Lucid Air Dream Edition gets you around 800km of range from one charge. Welcome to 2023.
Tho I have no idea why you would want to drive more than 200km without stopping somewhere to stretch your legs or similar. And during that time you can happily top up your EV. Its basically none issue, people traveled across entire USA multiple times with EV's and had no actual issues. You being scared of something you don't understand will not change anything here.
"And what when you lose capacity of your batteries in few years?"
You keep using it... it's not like battery capacity will become 5% in few years... You will lose some, but in general it's nothing magical.
"Then spend another 20 000$ to keep going?"
Looks like you seriously think that in few years EV's become bricks with zero range...
"EV will in city surely but exchange normal cars never"
Every expert disagrees with your obviously personal ignorant opinion here. Why is that?
EV's are on rise, new battery technologies are basically discovered/invented every single year, or multiple times in a year. Their performance is increasing, their cost is going down. Battery degradation is basically going away. And on and on and on and on and on...
There is a reason why basically all car manufacturers switching to electric, because this is the future we have to go into. You can't burn dinosaurs for ever here, sooner or later we will have to switch to something what is powered by renewables, so why not sooner and minimize pollution? And yes, EV's are greener than ICE cars even if you would use todays electricity production and include coal power plants, EV's are still greener, and this will only improve in time.
ICE cars will be as common as horses are now, you can still ride one if you wish, but it will be just that, someone's hoby outside cities.

There isn't much to increase anymore, it's basically at peak performance already. Hydrogen fuel cell technology was invented in like 1839, while it improved over all these years, it was tiny steps and in recent decades it basically remained exactly same. There is limited amount of energy per 1kg of hydrogen. Currently we are getting around 40-60% of energy, theoretical maximum would be around 80%, that's basically at max 30% efficiency increase if you can reach limits of physics, which isint really realistic, as theoretical maximum will always be way higher than real world.
Just like you could now have LNG tank in your car trunk... We have hydrogen cars, Mirai is one of those. It has 3 huge tanks which makes central console huge, back seat tiny and trunk cramped. Max range: 400miles.
And when it comes to weight, ironically enough Hydrogen doesn't have head start here. Tesla model Y is basically exact same weight as Toyota Mirai. To be fair Model Y does have slightly lower max range, but it has allot more space inside of it, so if you would try to get that space back in Mirai you would be down to like 200miles range max.
And no idea why you mentioned solar here. You can charge BEV's from solar, in any case you will need less of that electricity for BEV's than you will for hydrogen cars.
And NASA is space agency and hydrogen application is way different from what you would be using it for. In some cases hydrogen is better solution than basic batteries, but those are few and in between. And just FYI majority of that is being used as rocket propellant, because you know, hydrogen likes to burn/explode which is perfect for rockets, not so good for passenger cars
