Clean-air car you can't use: California hydrogen vehicle owners can't find fuel

Doesn’t the hydrogen somehow come from fossil fuels anyway?

I know there are completely clean ways to get it like splitting water apart using solar energy.

But that’s not what was actually happening in practice right?

I was under the impression for the people who bought one of these that they’re tended to only be a single place they could ever fuel up anyway. Like maybe there were a couple throughout California but realistically you’ll never had a choice because it was never popular enough. That is one thing electric cars didn’t have to overcome. Electricity was already available everywhere. Charging off a 120v outlet is slow (I know, I do it) but it works.
