Hydrogen fuel cells have the same type of problems ethanol does. The
current largest source of hydrogen is....fossil fuels!!! (natural gas, to
be specific). Using electricity to make hydrogen is *hugely* inefficient.
It's a much better (and more efficient) use of electricity to charge
batteries in electric cars.

Hmmm, an electric Westfalia. Range: 40 miles. ;)

So, the real answer, is, again, to use less.
