New Version of Volt to House Hydrogen Fuel Cell
April 19th, 2007 | Posted in: Electric Motor, Latest News
As we predicted in our previous post, the new version of the Volt to be displayed at the Shanghai Auto show will demonstrate how the E-flex system can be configured with a hydrogen fuel cell as opposed to the internal combusiton engine.
This concept illustrates the “Flex” portion of E-flex. Since it is the battery-powered electric engine which powers the vehicle, one can hook up any supply they would like to charge the batteries, including, in this case a hydrogen cell. Less batteries and range will be needed as the fuel cell can directly power the electric engine.
More information will be forthcoming when the car is unveiled.

The beauty in the E-Flex series PHEV concept’s lies in its redundant simplicity and flexibility. The multiple “range extender” option allows the local market to choose what’s best for them by voting with their wallets. This concept proves that there are still many brilliant and innovative people at GM.
The best part is that every day GM appears to be more serious about actually producing E-Flex. I’m an optimist, however we’ve all been disappointed many times before because GM “cried wolf.” I for one will remain skeptical until I can buy one from my local dealer’s showroom. I’d like the biodiesel range extender option please. My favorite color is midnight blue with faux tan leather interior. Heated seats and mirrors and a GPS system would be nice too. How about a convertible? Yep… I’m an optimist.
Btw: Hydrogen as a “battery” can’t compete with it’s own fuel source which is electricity.
The “Hydrogen Economy is scam-science unless one can repeal the laws of physics:
