I know the laws of energy conservation apply, but why can't you get over that electricity hump with gas/altenator

First of all, I look upon anything dealing with "HHO" gas with extreme skepticism....from all that I have seen (and I have seen a lot), it is crack-pot, bogus, "science",
But we can talk all day about H2 and O2 gas.

Although this was written pertaining specifically to fully fueling an automobile with Hydrogen gas, a similar argument might be made for a hybrid of Hydrogen gas, as well, when using the alternator to produce it,

In a truly closed system, you'd have to burn hydrogen and water to get the energy that you'd need to electrolyze water to regenerate your hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to burn in the next cycle.

But you can't generate enough electrical energy to electrolyze the water just from burning the hydrogen, no matter what you do. You run afoul of thermodynamics in that it is absolutely impossible to get as much or more energy out of any fuel source as you would have to put into it to make it in the first place. Too many places for energy loss.

Now let's add into the equation the fact that you have to remove energy from that portion of the proposed cycle in order to power your vehicle! Can't be done!

Your question is not clear but it looks suspiciously like a perpetual motion machine. Can't work, look at the thermodynamics.
