Default How far travelling a Hybrid with no petrol

The install can deliver to 30 cars per day. But it's scalable and is
really at beta test stage.


A normal filling station at present serves 30 cars in thirty minutes, so
it would have to ramp up a real lot.
Would specialised staff be required to keep the filling process safe?
Good site for a terrorist attack too.
I would hazard a guess that hydrogen stations would not be permitted
anywhere near housing. I have only seen one and that was well in the
countryside.


We've had LPG for years and CNG is gaining momentum. You can put tanks
underground (as we do with LPG and CNG).

Filling is no more difficult than filling an LPG vehicle - the connector
and filling process is near identical. So it can be operated by any
member of the public without specialist attendants.

Hydrogen is just acting as a battery in these applications - as an
energy store it's more efficient than storing in a lithium battery.
