I guess with a long hose and water pump you could cruise along the coast without stopping for gas? :rofl:

Definitely no competition for Tesla at close to $2 million.

those are some incredible stats. especially toting 400L of salt water energy.:eek:

Article title is a bit misleading, salt water cell is just the energy storage medium, not a consumed fuel if i read that correctly. Still very cool tech.

As always, energy generation is the key to making this either "green" or hype. If you charge this fuel cell using electricty generated by burning coal, you aren't really any further ahead.
