Gradually, they took notice of the Equinox and eventually stared, bewildered, as it did its post-drive, water-vapor blown-down routine (whereby the fuel cell avoids freeze damage to temperatures as low as -15 F). GM brawn, circa 1967, meets GM brain, circa 2008. One evening, I happened to park the Equinox next to a sweet mid-1960s Corvette surrounded by a group of Vette-smitten car guys reliving their Beach Boys youth. It's a technical tour de force that should rightly make GM proud. Basically, the fuel-cell car is the gas version on a bad day, respectable given it's being saddled with a trio of 10,000psi H2 tanks in the back (holding the equivalent of 4.2 gallons of gasoline for a 160-mile range) and enough radiators to cool Three Mile Island (needed to rid its lower-temp heat). Our only gripe was with the brakes, which in the last few mph tended to go all regen weird-feeling.Ĭompared with a gas Equinox we tested a while back (a 3.4-liter V-6 with 185 horses and 210 pound-feet of twist), the FCV is 0.3 second slower to 60 (four percent), stops two feet shorter from 60 (one percent), and corners with 0.05g less lateral tug (seven percent). But even here, the near-instant response of what little power you've got results in a useable gain until the stampede of internal-combustion buffalos manage to swallow a breath and start retaliating. To be sure, at freeway speed you finally pay the electric-motor piper, as its 98 horses dissolve the Equinox into econocar feebleness. From a stop, the car simply hair-triggers away as its electric motor's 236 pound-feet of torque deliciously yanks you forward from zero rpm. After five miles or so, its odd-ball George Jetson drivetrain simply melts away into irrelevance-who cares what it is? It works. We drove it for two weeks and the whole time were simply amazed at how well it operated. As stunningly underdeveloped and uncoordinated as the hydrogen infrastructure is, GM gets a loud shoutout from us for building a hydrogen-fuel-cell car that runs like a Rolex.
If Chevy's plug-in Volt works half as well as GM's ballyhooing in 2011 or whenever, these hydrogen cars are going to go poof faster than you can say "Hindenburg."Īnd it sure as heck won't be the Equinox's fault. Right now, in every house along my modest, couldn't-be-more-ordinary street, there are circuit-breaker boxes humming away with 240 volts of electricity. Irvine station (best of the bunch) that you're required to wear a fire-resistant lab coat and goggles despite 90-degree weather, learn that some stations take about seven minutes for a refill (UCI) and others 25 minutes (depending on station sophistication), only then will you start to appreciate how unbelievably far hydrogen has to go to be even remotely practical. Until you've stared at a map of Southern California's sparse grid of hydrogen oases and gone to them, found some non-operable, some demanding individual training sessions before using them, discover at the U.C. In 10 and a half years, that kid'll have a driver's license-not much time to build a gazillion hydrogen versions of all those Arcos and Exxon stations I was passing.
