UK Company Riversimple Plans a Fuel-Sipping Hydrogen Car (techienews.co.uk)
TechnoidNash writes: Riversimple has been developing a hydrogen car with the support of a 2 million grant from the Welsh government. The result of their efforts? The Riversimple Rasa. A hydrogen car with a claimed fuel economy of 0.9L/100 km (250 mpg). The Rasa can reach up to 96 km/h (60 mph) and has a range of 483 km (300 miles) on a 1.5 kg tank of hydrogen.
Here it comes, the world's newest hydrogen-powered automobile... there she is... the technicians are attaching the hose... OMG!!! OH, THE HUMANITY!!!
I deny that I have not avoided attaining the opposite of that which I do not want.
A car with the range for highway driving, which is incapable of traveling at highway speeds...
Hasn't kept the Prius drivers off the freeways, and I could swear I read somewhere that those things will do at least 65...
Seems reasonable in most cities in the US that have a large central urban area. You could probably do fine as a city car in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, NYC. But such a car might be less practical in LA or Dallas. (not practical in Detroit because it lacks machine gun mounts or pepperspray aerosol delivery)
