Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and colleagues earlier developed an efficient process for methane pyrolysis. Methane pyrolysis separates methane (CH 4 ) into gaseous hydrogen and solid carbon that is a valuable material for various industry branches and can also be stored safely. —Prof Wetzel.

Volt like hybrids are the intermediate future between hydrogen or fast charging electric cars. If you build a car as a "kit car" with no real factory, then yes, it will never be an economic success. Why grant them the privledge to spend our money in the first place? So I think its a safe bet for GM.
