If you are using a coal-fired power plant to power the electrolysis process, it isn't all that "clean." | It's a first step though. If your car runs on hydrogen, the fuel plant can be converted from coal to something else and your car will still work.
But if your car runs on oil then you're stuck with oil, period.
