Default Re: Ford flexes hybrid muscle

I was reading that someone has devolped a "fuel cell" that uses alcohol to produce the electricity. Enough electricity would be created from one gallon for 65 miles of EV ( below 40 MPH ) driving in the Ford Escape.

Now... 65 MPG from a renewable fuel, with no high pressure hydrogen tank sounds good to me. Weight would be pretty heavy at this point, about twice the weight of the stock HV battery... the only drawback so far...
