On Friday, there was a presentation in Imperial College about fuel cell vehicles by Nissan. We also got a ride in the car after that. It is still very pricey but the car is so quiet, has good mileage(can last up to 250 miles per full tank(of hydrogen). However, it is still in its early stage of development and will take few years(their target is 2015) to reach out to the upper market. Mass market production will take longer to reach and the chain of hydrogen fuel stations need to be improved. But it’s a good start for Nissan(joint venture between the US and Japan).
The picture above shows how the fuel moves from the hydrogen tank to the motor/battery.
