Hydrogen is a b---- to harness physically, and it requires special hose, and leads to "hydrogen embrittlement" of metals. If there is a breakthrough w/ onboard water separation systems, or other in-car means of h2 generation, that's fine..but mass production of h2 isn't going to fly. Iceland can swing it with their free geothermal, but even then isn't cheap as geothermal is a very challenging source to utilize..harder than it appears.
