Can’t you just break down water, use the hydrogen to power the electric motor, and I don’t think O2 as a byproduct is bad, now this is of course an ideal condition, but why hasn’t this been looked into more?

    You should probably look into the chemistry needed to do 2 H2O -> 2H2 + O 2

    Obviously the biggest problem is making sure you have an even number of water molecules.

    Hint: It’s not because this idea never occurred to any of the scientists and engineers involved in hydrogen power.
