yeh, wait till you find out how much it costs to fill the tank (that you
have to provide) with hydrogen and where you have to go to get it filled.
bzzzzt. next?
ps. your vw doesn't have room for a tank that will take you 400 miles
between fillups (but my vegetable oil powered vw does), and it's longer than
400 miles between filling stations in most parts of the country.

Spamma scamma.
I tried to report this dweeb to the FTC, but wouldn't you know their web
page didn't work?
Do they have an e-mail address to report such scams?

I was actually thinking the fuel cell system would charge the
batteries, since that's the major problem with electric vehicles.
Aside from the vw, possibly locate a used EV, and incorporate the Fuel
cell system as a onboard charging system while on the road, and a
backup power plant when at home. I don't know how long the fuel cell
will last though, a PEM fuel cell, there isn't any wear is there? Or
do you have to replace it every 2 years or something... I'm new to the
field , but am just tired of waiting around for a "corporate solution"
I have in the past converted gasoline cars to run on Propane/natural
gas (impco carbs)and have several Golf Carts (electric powered) it's
such a clean system! would be Ideal for the enviroment,and no I'm not
a tree hugger but I do like to breathe!
So how long are these PEM's god for?
