It is much cheaper and simpler to use existing powerlines to “fuel” a car rather than have to put in a totally new infrastructure. Hydrogen may have a future as a storage technology for installed intermittent renewable energy sources (such as wind and solar), where it would be produced on-site and then used in a fuel cell, but I can’t see it as a widely distributed fuel itself.

Yes, that’s the gist of the article, and about as far as the inventors are willing to go (project). But as I noted, the all-in cost of such a rig would make it a money-hole compared to just buying FF-sourced power, were it available. Consider that $100 would buy about 40,000 kwh of FF-power … enough to power the average household for 10-15 years or so. Or, for that matter, fully recharge a Tesla Motors Roadster 600 times or so (240 miles per charge), also about 10 years of expected use.
