except that the cost and energy expended in extracting and processing hydrogen from water far exceeds the energy gain from re-oxidizing it in the engine, making hydrogen systems very inefficient and polluting. Not to mention you will have to convert almost all available cabin space into a hydrogen tank if you don't want to refuel every 10 km or so.
not to mention that hydrogen can make the car go hindenburg on you
