The prototype fuel cell vehicles I’ve read about create hydrogen from natural gas. Why not just use the natural gas for fuel rather than adding another level of cost and complexity? Makes no sense to me.

“Makes no sense to me”

Kind of like a Chevy Volt which adds hundreds of lbs of weight and thousands of dollars in cost, so you can go around 35 miles on electricity...or approximately the range of 1 gallon of gas.

Hydrogen can be manufactured using many different substances.
