It is true that hydrogen burns very hot – that is why we use it as supplemental fuel – but note that we are using a SMALL amount of hydrogen, compared to hydrogen cars. We drive on gasoline or diesel – we’re only interested in hydrogen for the purpose of boosting the efficiency of our poorly burnt fossil fuel. The small amount of hydrogen (more correctly oxy hydrogen) makes the fuel burn more completely and the extra water vapor produced due to the burning of oxy hydrogen cools down the engine and yields other benefits such as less vibration, steam-cleaning of old carbon deposits, etc.
The overall effect, in the long run, is less maintenance, fewer breakdowns, not more. Most people are interested in saving right now at the fuel pump, and that is understandable. However, no matter if they want it or not, the benefits of less pollution and less maintenance are there to enjoy.
