In a bid to persuade more petrol-heads that green cars can be cool, General Motors has set up a test drive scheme dubbed "Project Driveway" for its new fuel-cell Equinox SUV.
Over 100 customers will be given the chance to road test the car before the end of the year, and it seems that GM is bent on establishing it as a status symbol: they will initially go to celebrities, policymakers, the military and other "influentials", but the public can also sign up online.
Unfortunately, the UK has not been chosen as a testing site, because so few charging points have been installed; the US, Germany, South Korea, China and Japan are the five countries selected, as each already has a workable infrastructure. [Via BBC]
When I was a junior in high school 1940 I ran an internal combustion car (model A-Ford) hydrogen with the two other students. I became a chemistry teacher later and have followed the development of hydrogen powered items for a long time. I built an energy efficient home with solar electric systems and find that I have an excess of electricity. I would like to have an electrolizer (electrolysis) to produce hydrogen
and store it in low pressure tank developed by David Antonelli,Professor chemisry at University of Windsor.
