If you can do high temperature, high pressure electrolysis at high voltage then the process may get up to 50% efficient.
That means several hundred degrees F and 200 to 300 psi minimum.
At normal temperature and pressure it's only around 10% efficient.
An electric vehicle can be refueled with renewable power too and not suffer the horrific inefficiencies of electrolysis.
