GM Hydrotec fuel cell applications.


Kind of interesting, GM is looking at utilizing these to allow existing gas stations to incorporate EV chargers without adding infrastructure.
Definitely interesting, and an R&D battle that needs to be fought before mass adoption can take place. "can charge up to 100 EVs potentially before needing more hydrogen". I wonder what the base unit is for "EVs"; 100 Bolts?

No way that would be equivalent to a HummEr or a SilvErado though. Napkin math says ~2x the weight means ~2x the charging needed. 100 Bolts or 50 HummErs/SilvErados before more hydrogen needed, which could be depleted pretty fast.

At least until hydrogen storage tanks at stations the size of gasoline storage tanks at stations become a thing.
