I imagine this as a system that uses spare renewable energy like solar to generate gas that can be used to smooth the curve that is a renewable power source. It's real value is that it reduces infrastructure needs, allowing its use in remote environments. But it does add a lot of additional failure points.

The machine also traps water vapor, and uses electrolysis to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen instead of destroying your car's cooling system.
what the fuck does this even mean
There is a lot of water (H2O) in the air too. This is bad for the car.
The machine uses electricity to force the H2O molecule to break down into H2 and O2, common gases. This does not hurt the car.
I swear Porche was already doing something similar...years ago.
