\ Water powered cars could not run, if someone were to build them. This is because there is no known effective way to get energy from water in a manner capable of powering a car.

Water is used to generate electricity by dropping it from a high to low point, resulting in a loss of potential energy which drives turbines, but cars are powered by chemical energy, by burning fuels to release heat. For example, you can burn hydrogen and oxygen to release energy, with water as the product, but you cannot "burn" water in the same way.
