Well, it's either one or the another. While the energy loss is relatively high when using electricity, it's not a problem when you have an oversupply of renewable energy, actually it's even beneficial as it provides a storage for otherwise lost energy.
But regardless of the production, it generates no pollution when consumed by a vehicle. You know, like clean air in cities.
And of course, hydrogen won't solve tire pollution nor associated noise (albeit I guess it should be more silent that fossil fuel one) but it's still environmental friendly compared to what we have now.
