This is entirely possible, to a degree. See, the problem is thermodynamics. The idea being (I imagine) that the gasoline engine produces the majority of the "power" for the vehicle system. Using the EMF generated by an alternator, the hydrogen generator breaks down water to its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen. I am a bit worried that the energy needed to produce H2 via electrolysis may well exceed the energy yield of the reaction - due to inefficiency alone.
Neat idea though. We will see more about hydrogen once storing H2 gas in a solid matrix other than platinum is more affordable. My bet is on nanotube storage beds.
