You took the words out of my mouth. Given the 1M price tag of the FCX we would only need 6 roadsters to complete the race without charging on route. Add to that we would complete the race with a spare $400,000 left over!!!
Given Norway is one of the few countries to produce over 99% of its electricity from pure renewables it speaks volumes to hear that they can't even say the same for H2 Production!
If we consider the (1995) GM EV1 to be the first of this new breed of EV's, which now spans about 15 years of R & D. For which Tesla has just delivered its 500th roadster.
GM developed the first H2 concept in mid 60's and still were told it will be decades before we can purchase a H2 car at normal prices! Thats nearly 50 years of R & D and nothing to show for it. We've only been driving cars for 100 years!!!
