We'll, that clinches it! I'll sell my EV, and buy a hydrogen powered car.

Of course, it'll be a 5,000 mile round trip from my home to the nearest retail hydrogen fuel station, and the 'almost zero' cost hydrogen fuel will run me 24 cents a mile versus the 3 cents per mile electricity cost me for the EV.

Makes perfect sense!

Obviously it's not the water that is the driver of high expense for hydrogen production - it's the cost to split the molecules in that water to get hydrogen out.

New methods are being researched to do that using renewables, and ultimately may make hydrogen economically viable, particularly for energy storage, aviation, etc.

Until then, BEVs are much more efficient and create far less CO2 over a vehicle's lifetime than ICE vehicles:

"Results show that even for cars registered today, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have by far the lowest life-cycle GHG emissions... Additionally, as the electricity mix continues to decarbonize, the life-cycle emissions gap between BEVs and gasoline vehicles increases substantially when considering medium-size cars projected to be registered in 2030."
