There's a difference between a technological limit and natural law. The law of thermodynamics is not a technological limit.
And the limit is, once you've converted energy two to three times, you're never going to end up with enough energy to adequately power the process creating it or to effectively offset it. Hybrid-electric works only because it allows you to completely shut off the ICE when you don't need it. Hydrogen injection doesn't. It's just adding an extra step and an extra set of losses which are better spent simply storing that electricity in a battery.
