? Where does the saltwater come from? It's a hydrogen fuel cell car.

The Hy-wire is powered by a fuel cell capable of producing 94 kilowatts of power continuously without refueling on a saltwater solution and up to 129 kilowatts for short periods.[4] The fuel cell itself is supplied with hydrogen from 3 tanks of compressed hydrogen located in the skateboard holding 2 kg (4 lb), but future models may hold larger capacities, yielding increased driving range. With its three-phase electric motor the ~4000 lb (1814 kg) vehicle has a top speed of 100 mph (160 km/h).[4]

A hydrogen fuel cell is really just a battery though (but one that you can feed continuously, rather than having a charge/release cycle), in that you have to create the hydrogen in the first place, which requires energy.
