Electric cars run on e-l-c-t-r-i-c-t-y and until such a time as hydrogen fueled cars: "Fuel cell vehicles use hydrogen gas to power an electric motor. Unlike conventional vehicles which run on gasoline or diesel, fuel cell cars and trucks combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, which runs a motor."

Electric cars will be vastly more expensive to run than what we have now...changing the electrical grids we have now to cover the extra electrical out-put, will be in the billions....property taxes etc. will______fill in the blank.

Where does hydrogen gas come from?

Hydrogen is a STORE of energy. Mostly a store of electricity with some loss in efficiency in the conversion. One still has to generate the electricity. There may be some chemical processes to convert natural gas to hydrogen, but why do that? You can run a vehicle directly on natural gas without the loss in energy.

I was reading about the new Formula E series (It is the F1 for electric vehicles) the teams in FE needs two cars, because halfway through the race, they have to get the second car running, since the first car battery is dead.
