    This program is on April 14, in the afternoon:

    Source: AD #1841 – Tesla Model S’s 1st Facelift, U.S. Green Car Segment Shrinking, Lexus Still Wants That Human Touch – Autoline Daily

    Be sure to join us for Autoline After Hours this week. Joining John and Gary is Jackie Birdsall, the Fuel Cell Engineer for the all-new Toyota Mirai. So if you have any questions send them to [email protected]. And then join us Thursday afternoon for the best insider discussions in the business.

    I'll send in a version of these questions:
    1. How pure must the hydrogen be?
    2. What contaminants in either air-side or hydrogen-side are toxic to the fuel cell?
    3. If poisoned by a bad batch of H{2} or atmospheric gasses can the fuel cell be reconditioned in the field?
    4. Have any H{2} reformers (i.e., convert methanol, liquid ammonia, or liquified natural gas) been tested and results?
    5. What pressure does the fuel cell work at internally?
    6. Have any provisions been made to extract energy from the highly compressed hydrogen feeding the fuel cell?
    7. Does the expanded hydrogen need to be 'warmed' before use by the fuel cell?
