is an all-new vehicle that will achieve high fueleconomy results by retaining the same attributes of ultra-light weight and extremely low aerodynamic drag in a four-passenger vehicle. The battery pack fully recharges in less than 7 hours, using regular household 110V outlet. The VLC 4.0 —Mike Heskitt. Needing only a 10.5
Even then the US is unlikely to reach a 50% reduction in petroleum use by 2030 because very little time remains for achieving the required massive changes in the on-road LDV fleet and/or its fuel supply. Many of the vehicles on the road in 2030 will have been built by 2015, and these will lower the fueleconomy of the on-road fleet.
Availability of the Tucson Fuel Cell will expand to other regions consistent with the accelerating deployment of hydrogen refueling stations. Hyundai’s position on fuel cell vehicles is that they alleviate the limitations of traditional battery-electric vehicles with respect to range and refueling (recharging) time.
