"A gas supplier company in the Netherlands has effectively doubled the range of the Tesla Model S by adding hydrogen power to the electric luxury sedan. Dubbed the "Hesla," the modification adds a second charging supply to the existing electrical system, using a tank of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source.
Last week, the Holthausen Group announced that it had begun testing the prototype vehicle. With a fully charged battery and a tank of hydrogen, the Helsa can travel close to 620 miles — nearly twice the range of the stock Model S P100D." http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2017/11/13/meet-hesla-modded-tesla-model-s-that-runs-on-hydrogen-fuel.html

I saw a Discovery channel program once where a retired engineer did that. He had an array of solar panels that drove the electrolysis, and tanks in his yard to store the hydrogen. He ran his car on it and occasionally through a fuel cell in his house as a backup in case the solar panels weren't meeting his needs (like in the winter) at any moment in time.
