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.
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.
