Oh really, 1c3d0g, all efforts? Even Honda and Toyota’s efforts? You probably don’t applaud their effords simply because they are Japanese, even though they’re arguably trying the hardest

Why don’t they use fuel cells?

This article has a picture of the trunk about half way down the page; looks like there isn’t much left (a couple of overnight bags would fit), and it apparently swallows a few inches of rear legroom, too.

Sure, it’s a nice start. Still isn’t a fuel cell, though.

04focus i think he meant what would the range be if you maximized the capacity of the hydrogen tank after removing the gasoline tank. this is the best hydrogen solution for the next 15 years at least.

Click through the link to the original article. It appears that 1) 300 miles on gasoline 2) 120 miles on hydrogen only and 3) No, there’s not much trunk space left.

Having both fuels gives the owners a travelling flexibility. How much range is there on gasoline? Could they program the nav computer to alert you to hydrogen stations in the upcoming areas? Also, what would the hydrogen-only range be if the gasoline tank was gone? Is there any trunk space left with the two tanks installed? Too many questions, not enough answers.
