Concept: Honda's FCX
06:25 | 
“Quiet vehicles with little to no emissions that look cool.” Those are the words of Honda’s Chris Martin. I spoke with him at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit about the release of Honda’s latest hydrogen hybrid concept, the FCX. The car is a kind of triple-threat, with beautiful color, eye-catching style and the promise of significantly reduced carbon output levels. Alas, as a concept car, it’s not something we’re going to be seeing on the road any time soon. Although Martin assures us that something very much like the FCX will be on America’s highways and byways in the not-too-distant future.

This car sounds awesome! I saw a concept model at Geneva Car show last yaer, and filmed it in HD but was too lazy to release my videos on the Internet from that show.
I wonder how fast one can refuel it at home in the garage. How about having the refueling station outside on the main road in front of the house and having a peer-to-peer distribution model. Thus one could add a Hydrogen refueling station onto a GPS and wireless HSDPA/Edge/3G connected device in the car that has a real-time overview of available compatible hydrogen refueling stations be them commercial or from other private people having a nice refueling station available for any FCX user to use in front of their house.
This way people could maybe get some money reselling the hydrogen in front of their homes depending on the amount of people who find and use their refueling station. Keeping this home refueling technology only for one-self I think would be a waste of infrastructure. The p2p refueling model could rapidly blanket the whole planet with Hydrogen refueling. And any store, café, or municipal parking spaces could be turned into Hydrogen re-fueling on the double-lane and Electrical chaging for electric cars on the main parking spot.
I wonder how efficient FCX is in terms of energy consumed for a tank full that does 270 mile range compared to using batteries. And how long time it takes refueling. And how safe is it with the home refueling system, possibly p2p refueling system and generally how safe it is to use compared to normal cars and electric cars. And how about the acceleration, maximum speed and stuff like that.
