Default Car fuel consumption spreadsheet

(dmc) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying:

I agree we don't need Hybrids .. what we need is an escalation by
HMgov to roll out Hydrogen fuel refill points. The Hydrogen fuelled
car with no batteries is the single most important invention for the
automotive industry.

The Honda is a hybrid.


Hybrid? Depends how you define that I guess - it certainly doesn't use
any petrol.


Fine. So it's not a petrol-electric hybrid.

What it IS is a bit more difficult to classify - since the hydrogen's
being used as an electricity storage medium alone, it's probably fair to
refer to it as an electric-only vehicle.

Mind you, it's a thoroughly one when you look at the plug-to-motion
efficiency...

Where do we store the stuff?


Much like lpg... storage of hydrogen isn't a really a problem


splutter
It certainly is.

Look at BMW's 7-series hydrogen concept of a few years ago. The boot was
full of hydrogen tank, giving it a range of about 100 miles - which had
to be used within a week else it all escaped.
