Mass conversion to alternative fuel sources cannot happen until there is decent network coverage and the most innovative companies are busy trying to stay ahead of the game and putting this in place now. This is a great technological development and when these are available readily in places people automatically stop for downtime – car parks, office blocks etc. then there’s a chance that average consumers might sit up and take a bit more notice. New companies will cease this opportunity fast if traditional energy suppliers and car manufacturers do not up the ante.

A good place for them would be hotels. Good for hotel business too.

It’s a brilliant concept and I’m glad to see the fueling time has been/could be greatly reduced. But it still has an electrolyzer which means a directed electric current to split the water molecules. Which means, unfortunately, an extra step is in place where it needn’t be. A straight electric charger would have been better. And then there’s the question of how much solar is actually utilized to create the electrolyzer charge, since the unit is grid-connected. Can the solar installation involved actually create enough juice to zap the water, or does it require involvement from the grid?

Like I said, a brilliant concept and a step in the right direction, but needs refinement and should not be considered an end-product. I’m looking forward to what comes down the line.

Absolutely. I am inspired and dismayed this news is blocked from mainstream media by oil power. It does not surprise me that Ford Motor Company is not on the cutting edge, but Honda is involved in robotics, and alternative fields. Tunnel-vision partnering with big oil is costing American stock values to decline, and i pray we integrate these new concepts soon enough to reverse our carbon footprint on Earth.

Excellent innovation indeed! The refilling station is sleek and compact.

A good acheivement by an auto major.
