I wouldn't laugh, it's been done. And chances are it would blow the doors off of most of our vettes in the 1/4. The C4 is aerodynamic and it's low cost and light weight would make it a plausible project.

Well we can play the whole EV pros and CONS game all day.
But, for purely answering the question, it has been done and more will I am sure. Companies like this are working it in England.

Years ago, someone did convert a 94 C4 to run off of Hydrogen. He had 3 cylinders' in the back, and he got about 400 miles. Cleanest energy out there.

Whats hilarious is the guy who did that was on Joe Rogan. His name is Bob Lazar. He's the guy who claimed to work on alien space craft. I just got done watching the podcast with him talking about aliens. So I googled his name and came across the video with his hydrogen powered Vette.
