    Do you have many hydrogen fueling stations around your neck of the woods? Nothing lasts forever, but the question is if you can't refill those hydrogen tanks, how long are they expected to last?

    Do you really want to spend that much money on something without a basis of comparison and exact information on general usage, care, and maintenance?

    I think they are building hydrogen fuelling stations across the UK and USA.

    Don't plan on buying this, just interested in the technology.

    Does anyone think this is going to start a new era where we move away from the typical petrol/combustion engines? Obviously they will need to bring production costs down to compete with normal car sales.

    I don't know of any places in my state or in the one below me that are setting up hydrogen refueling stations. I know they have them out in Cali, but as far as I know that's the only place they have them. I could be wrong about this, but it seems that Cali's the only state in the USA that is actually taking this under consideration.

    The tech's cool, but as it currently stands... right now, financially infeasible. Time will tell if anything will come of it.

    I remember them saying on Top Gear that hydrogen powered cars are definitely gonna be the future....... we will run out of fossil fuels eventually. Hydrogen's the most abundant chemical in the universe so i can see it happening
