You'd be better off going with the compressed air car that is being developed today. It, and practical EVs, will be here much sooner than hydrogen cars (by an order of 3-5 decades, I'd imagine).
It may never happen, but if someone ever devises an economical and energy efficient way to break the covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen--thus enabling fuel to be stored as water and released as needed--that person will make a mint!
