What about hydrnol? Asemblon claims that hydrnol will cost less than compressed hydrogen gas and not require special pressure tanks. Asemblon
says that the shape of tanks that store hydrnol with a dual bladder can be made
to fit the car better. I am not sure if hydrnol right now can be used with fuel cells,
that isn’t in the FAQ.

Asemblon is a Washington based company.

Saying that hydrogen cars will run on compressed hydrogen gas ignores the work of Asemblon and frankly I am concerned that advocates for hydrogen look at all methods for storing, producing, and delivering it.

Several other manufacturers such as Ford have also unveiled hydrogen plug-in hybrid prototypes.

I think combining the two technologies is a good idea. It will give a longer range than an all electric car, and a high MPG, which means fewer hydrogen fueling stations will have to be built.

The law of diminishing returns says that bigger batteries are probably a losing proposition and yet, especially here in the U.S., we hear more about plug in cars
than we do about hydrogen cars. Is Honda really going to bother trying to produce and sell a plug-in electric car when it has the incredible FCX Clarity? Is this the Honda that said it will be easier to commercialize fuel cell cars than it will be to commercialize battery electric vehicles? Maybe Honda is trying to capitalize on the high cost of “green” plug-in hybrids. Somehow a 40 mile electric range does not make a car green in my opinion when fuel cell cars can go 150+ miles on cleanly produced electricity.

Anyways, what is the story with Honda? Why is Toyota supporting battery electric vehicles when it has the best fuel cell SUV on the face of the earth?
Will the push for plug-in cars ever go away?
