Then there is the generation of Hydrogen or whatever the fuel cell is
based upon.

It costs money to generate the source material and storage and sales...
Not all that easy nor cheap. If you generate H2 via solar cell there is
some help - but the impact on the earth is there.

Nothing is free.

That is for the fuel cell. Then you have to get the electricity
to the wheels in some fashion. At what "overall" eficiency?
