I don't think these type of cars a ready for mass production yet (I could be wrong). There are probably a few prototypes given to celebs or something to drive around, but I heard that these type of cars are way too expensive for mass production as of now. But, the benefits of hydrogen are amazing. Ideally, hydrogen actually produces about 2.5 times as much energy as the same quantity of gas. Plus, the only waste product is water vapor. Im really, looking foward to these cars in the future. The only question I have is what are they going to do with the excess waste water. In cold climates, if the waste was eliminated into the air, it would come back down as ice or snow and make driving conditions hell. Maybe they just store it in the car?
