That's great - except anything that creates produces hydrogen via electrolysis requires at least as much energy to free up the hydrogen as you get back from the hydrogen to run your car. So you still need a rack of batteries to use the stuff. That would be less efficient than just running off of the batteries.
It might make sense if you were to use the nanotech to create hydrogen at home (from your tap water, perhaps). Then you would effectively be using your house's electricity to power your car. That would be great because you wouldn't have those massive battery arrays that run hybrids and electric cars.
