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?

They specifically said they were R&D units and never intended any to go to production. Sometimes they do that to gather data. Hydrogen combustion simply isn’t efficient enough for a production vehicle. You’ll be surprised by the amount of crazy tests car manufacturers do. This includes methanol/ethanol cars, natural gas ICE engines, solar panels, all sort of crazy experimental batteries.
