Methanol reformulated fuel cell car
Source: Gumpert returns with new Chinese partner, RG Nathalie fuel cell sports car
The RG Nathalie, which is named after one of Gumpert's daughters, is the first model from Chinese electric car startup Aiways. . . .
The striking sports car, which could pass for a modern Audi Sport Quattro, is powered by four electric motors, but there isn't a battery onboard. Instead the car has a hydrogen fuel cell stack that generates the electricity to power the motors. But to get around the lack of hydrogen fuel stations, the car also features a methanol reformer. This takes in ordinary methanol and is able to split it into carbon dioxide, which is released into the air, and hydrogen, which is fed into the fuel cell.

Plug ins lose free access to LA county's express toll lanes

Since 2013, the year the Metro Express Lanes opened, there has been a 1,000 percent increase in decals issued by the state for clean air vehicles."
The clean air cars will get a 15% discount on the tolls, and this has no effect on the state HOV access. -
LA area HVB supplier review?
I'm considering purchasing a reconditioned HVB for my recently purchased/toasted '05 from a Los Angeles area biz calling itself:
"PriusPower"
Anybody heard of them? Experiences?
$495 w/6month warranty
$695 w/12month.
(Additional $400/core charge, if applicable).
They will deliver free within LA area.
Tempted, but obviously a warranty means nothing if the product is inferior to begin with.
Time and hassle=$$$.
Anyone?
Thanks.
