Accelerating and braking with the wrist may give you carpool tunnel syndrome! Oh geeze I'm funny!!!! BTW, way to explain WTF we are looking at.

[shiznani]

yeah and the more gas we use the higher the prices will go I swear people are so freakin ignorant .Look at deisel fuel now that everyone wants these huge trucks with a deisel cuz there rich little fags that are soo far in debt or there rich parents bought it for them for christmas people need to wake up and really lok what were doing to the world

@Dylan2996oct 100mph or so

you would be expecting to get a car like this from toyota

[DiamondPearlist]

cool.....my daughter wants me to get one  :)

[Dylan2996oct]

How fast toped out?

Hydrogen will be allot cheaper than that.

As people will have these cells in their own home. The real money to be made from cars will be service providing.

People will not be paying their $20 on fuel it will be spent on car contract that are just like todays mobiles phones. A monthly fee will be paid.

Wouldn't a lever for acceleration be a good idea? Braking controls the mood of the speed. We do away with the circle steering wheel and go fighter jet style.

@CrustyOatmeal Yes, of course, I pay for the solar panels (or wind panels). But over time, that expense will pay for itself. Moreover, my technology is truly green.  My panels just sit on my roof and make energy!

You, on the other hand, have to continually rely on big business to ship tanks of hydrogen to stations and keep shovelling out $20/week to fuel your car -- forever!

Electric cars are just greener, and put the owner truly in control!

@CrustyOatmeal And tell me, then, if I own an electric car and my house is powered by solar panels (which is beginning to become popular), you will be paying money every week to fuel your car with explosive canisters of hydrogen. It may start at $10 a tank (but next year it may go to $11.50 --inflation).

Me, on the other hand, will simply plug my car in at night to my solar panel array costing me nothing.

My main point, however, is still regulating MILLIONS of explosive hydrogen cars/stations.

[dweeper1020]

@CrustyOatmeal But while a new power plant is being built, couldn't people also purchase a couple solar panels to just power their car. The panels would charge during the day, and charge your car at night?

There's definitely infrastructure that needs to be built (both with electric and hydrogen), but my main point is that managing and regulating millions of hydrogen stations along with bootleg canisters of explosive hydrogen doesn't compare with just regulating a handful of power plants.
