He's just using electric power to separate hydrogen from oxygen in H2O. Then taking the hydrogen and running an internal combustion engine with it. It takes a lot of power to pull the hydrogen away from the oxygen.
It's stupid in my view. Much less efficient than just having a battery in the car.
Plus, internal combustion engines are very complicated and need many systems to function. Electric motors just need a controller and cooling system.
We need better batteries than lithium but they will arrive it is only a matter of time.

0-60 in 9.5 seconds.
Are you kidding me?
My pickup truck does better than that.
My plugin hybrid is around 5.5 seconds. No contest. I would leave an H7 in the dust.
Yes, I totally agree.

Do you think that battery technology has reached a standstill?
Do you realize that battery tech is used in every smartphone and that it is a big ticket item that virtually everybody on the planet is using?
So they are going to improve batteries. I don't think hydrogen has a chance in the marketplace.
My hydrogen powered phone begs to differ
