Eight different auto manufacturers drove from Portland, Maine to Los Angeles in modified hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. I was pleasantly surprised with this video from GreenEnergyTV despite the opening, “It was a finish with no medals but many firsts”. Please!
The purpose of the cross country trip was to spread the word. Sadly, most Americans I meet still confuse hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with dubious “HHO Technology” that allows you to mystically “run your car on water”. I’m hoping that the hundreds of people that peeked under the hoods realize that these cars use electric motors.
I can’t understand the statements from the Hyundai representative who offers his insight on fuel cell vehicle manufacturing: “who knows exactly when we’ll see a hydrogen vehicle”. He must be familiar with Honda’s FCX Clarity, a 100% “Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle”. It might be limited to areas with available filling stations, but we’re seeing them right now, just not from Hyundai.
