The energy to crack the water was from solar panels mounted on the roof.
Apparently they have a similar system now hybridized with a gasoline
engine in a 7 series.
Again, why? Just use the damn electricity from the solor panels to power
the car, none of this "make your own hydrogen" step.
Solar panels can't provide enough power to run a full sized car, let alone
enough to crack the water into hydrogen at a rate to power a car.
I believe you are reading the page wrong too. This image here explains:

The hydrogen is created via solor power elsewhere, not "cracked in the
car".
The physics of it just wouldn't work at this time.
