How is the hyrdrogen generated? An electric powerplant that uses more energy to crate the hydrogen?
Still the Porsche?piech clan are pretty smart though the Porsche board screwed up on the VW takeover attempt.. They went deep into debt even after kicking the hedge fund shorts arses.
Hydrogen highway? Whats the big deal about that? Any US highway with fast food restaurants alongside them are already Methane highways.
Big question: Where is the hydrogen going to come from? Where is the energy source to free the hydrogen from all those molecules it’s now bound up in so that it’s available to put in cars?
Why is it illegal for an airship to use hydrogen, but its ok for a car speeding down a highway to use it?
The explosive collisions should be spectacular...!
Interesting theft deterrence idea they have. Just make a really ugly car.
I would feel much safer in a Helium-powered car. Didn’t the Hindenburg teach these people ANYTHING???
I bet even crash test dummies refused to test the car ...

They need to contract body styling to the Italians, stat!
Ever wonder why you can't purchase these wonder cars? The last electric car I read about, the lithium ion batteries cost $30,000. Twice the price of the car in which they were installed. You could only lease the car.
This Brit 'hydrogen car' is powered with a fuel cell. Currently, hydrogen fuel cells are costly to produce and are fragile.
Engineers are studying how to produce inexpensive fuel cells that are robust enough to survive the bumps and vibrations that all automobiles experience. Also, many designs require rare substances such as platinum as a catalyst in order to work properly. Such a catalyst can also become contaminated by impurities in the hydrogen supply.
There is a reason why we don't all drive steam powered cars. Or electric cars. They were tried. They are not economical or practical in modern use.
