No. Water has no fuel value.
Hydro plants don't burn water. You get the energy from a drop in altitude. Not going to have that in a car.
The sun evaporates water, it falls as rain at higher altitude, flows down to your dam, and you use the head to generate power by turning a turbine. Easy peasy. But at no point do you "burn" water. It's just a convenient way to get solar energy, if you want to look at it that way.
