A lot of hydrogen is derived from petroleum. Combine that with hydrogen's penchant for leaking very easily and the infrastructure would require a constant replenishment of the stuff just to keep idle. Extrapolate that to hydrogen stations being as common as gas stations and you'll see a lot of waste. For every day car use, it'd be better to use batteries.

All hydrogen is derived from petroleum.

Ftfy.

It's absolutely possible to get hydrogen through electrolysis. There is effectively 0 being produced this way today.

Hydrogen is and has always been a way to greenwash natural gas consumption.
