Therefore, you will never produce any net power to help push the car.

Tell me where the energy is coming from to do the electrolysis. Keep in mind that combustion engines are around 20% efficient. That means to make the power needed to extract 1 unit of hydrogen out of water, you need 5 units of hydrogen. I don't have to click the link (though I did and saw nothing to explain how it's supposed to actually work, it's just a bunch of marketing crap) to know that on-demand hydrogen systems that uses water electrolysis are bullshit.
There was one promising method of using an electrolysis type process on an aluminum alloy that releases hydrogen with a cost much lower than the energy created by burning the hydrogen, but the energy cost of creating the aluminum alloy was like 10 times more than that of the available hydrogen thus making the overall process not worth it.
