I would prefer the electrolysis method using a solar cell on the hood of the car itself. This would work well for cars in the city with short trips but the sunlight would be blocked by buildings. Any way you look at it large scale production of hydrogen would need to be based on a renewable such as Ethanol. Pehaps a small generator with a peaked and tweaked engine could be used as a hydrid type situation. Cutting the consumption would be the frst step then the next cycles of technology can come in and improve the first design.
