FUEL CELL - FOR YOUR CAR 

Amazing new technology, we have been all about full on electric cars but there is a new player in town and it's called Hydrogen. Rather than speak on what we don't quite all the way understand I will highlight the following 

• Hydrogen mxing with Oxygen to produce electricity
• Charge times of less than 5 minutes for a full charge 

This information was provided straight from the Lexus site, read and enjoy this new technology: 

When Lexus unveiled the LF-FC at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2015, Lexus fans got a sneak peek into the future.

The “FC” in the model’s name stands for fuel cell, which references the car’s eponymous drive system.

Fuel cells essentially mix two elements that are abundant in nature—hydrogen and oxygen—to produce electricity, and the LF-FC contains a stack of them to collectively act as a small, compact battery, removing the need for a conventional gas engine and the necessity for heavier batteries.

The benefits add up. Unlike many electric vehicle designs, refueling a fuel-cell-powered unit takes only a few minutes. It’s also amazingly clean—water vapor is the only emission. Power is transferred to the ground via in-wheel motors at each front wheel (along with a rear-wheel drivetrain), making the model an all-wheel-drive vehicle.
