Producing hydrogen from water requires electricity, and the electricity used is greater than the amount of energy the hydrogen produced can create. So yea, you can make a car run on water if you have a massive battery system to power the hydrogen generator. Right now the best systems use around 50KWH of electricity to produce 40KWH of energy in hydrogen. Those batteries powering the generator need to be charged from something so in the end the whole system is less efficient than just using those batteries to power an electric motor. The hydrogen is just a useless middle man in the process. Hydrogen from water sounds neat and clean, but it's simply not. You're using a ton of power to make something with less power than you had in the first place.What would make hydrogen better is a self contained hydro generator then just need water for fuel... They were made along time ago but buried by big oil.
