“Serious question here. Is it reasonably possible to set up a hydrogen creating station at your home through electrolysis from water to create and store sufficient hydrogen to fuel your vehicle?”

Anything’s possible, given enough money.

Sure you could, but it takes a relative tremendous amount of energy to break water molecules apart, and then of course compress it. Not to mention, both hydrogen and oxygen are highly flammable, so leaks may be a wee bit dangerous.

Sure you could build your own refueling station but your electric bill would be in the thousands. Then you have to compress the hydrogen. That would cost a lot more than your house cost.

Plenty of H2 available at refineries that have a catalytic reformer.
