This is absolutely incredible, and the first thing to really impress me in a while. Will look up more info later.

But what if it had a 20 kWh battery pack instead of hydrogen?
It would not need the capacitors then, or at least less of that.
It would be a killer EV.

Then, if they manage to make it succesful using hydrogen, hats off.

For confirmation go to people just like you.

Not impressed then or now. Would rather have the electric car with 20kw battery. At least I could refuel it almost anywhere and for almost anything.
And who really thinks hydrogen is fossil fuel free?
