Interesting interview, Chris... A couple of things, in the US, new cars haven't utilized carburetors since the early 1980's. Also, the average commuter's drive is well beyond 40 Km and, as urban costs of living continues to rise, people are commuting farther. This being the case, I wouldn't dis the hydrogen option just yet... You could have the best of both worlds in a hybrid Hydrogen/Battery car... Using hydrogen to essentially replenish what the electric motor uses of the batteries' charge.
