Hydrogen is not an energy source, it is a means of energy storage, and a pretty bad one at that.
Also, it's primarily made using methane steam reformation, which releases co2.
Yeah, that's the real problem. I wish hydrogen helped. Fuel cells and hydrogen are another way to store and release electricity, like batteries. Switching a car from gas to battery is a tricky proposition. Since they require more components to achieve the same result, delivering electricity to an electric motor, fuel cells would compound that problem.
If you want to go that route I think you should look more towards bikes and less towards cars.
