I enjoyed my opportunity to drive the HydroJen Chevy Equinox fuel cell car.  It was a great experience.  I took my two sons (3 and 5 years old) for a ride.  I was easily able to install my younger son’s car seat into the car using the latch system.  We visited friends and neighbors with the car.  My sons passed out pamphlets to their friends.  They were also very excited to take their pamphlets to school to share the experience with their teachers and classmates.

We had the opportunity to take an important customer out to dinner in the car, and show them the breadth and depth of our capabilities.  The customer had a question on H2 safety which I was able address immediately by printing out the brochure on H2 safety from your website and giving it to them.  Thank you for providing this unique experience to all of us.

I finally was able to drive and take home the HydroJen Equinox SUV for two nights during the week after some schedule changes. When going home the first night, I decided to fill the vehicle with some hydrogen. While I had my training, I had errors come up on the fill screen. I ended up calling for help and apparently I didn't perform the steps in sequence, which is very important! After starting over, disconnecting everything, the vehicle filled properly. With the full amount of Hydrogen in the tanks, (86miles range) I headed home.

The DC motor was quick and once I got used to the different noises it makes, it was like driving any other Equinox SUV. I stopped and showed the vehicle to my family and friends during my time with the vehicle and they were impressed. I gave them some pamphlets and explained how the vehicle worked. I also stopped at a few placesalong the way, which was going grocery shopping and a trip for some Polish water ice with my son. (See pics)

I didn't get the stares or attention as I thought maybe I would, but that was a good thing. I also attended the Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Show this year at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA and the HydroJen vehicle was part of the display.

I would love to see this technolgy grow in the future and be a cost effective solution. Getting the mileage range a little higher would help tremendously.

I have to say I truly enjoyed having the opportunity to drive the vehicle, and I like to thank that all involved in giving us the employees an opportunity to do so.

 I recently reserved the  HydroJen Chevy Equinox Fuel cell car for two nights.  I was blown away by how quiet the car is during start up and running on the highway.  My wife and I took the car up to the Lehigh Valley Mall area, where of course we had an audience viewing the car when we were leaving the mall.  We handed out pamphlets and I answered several questions.  The second night I took my son out and he was amazed how great the acceleration was on this vehicle. He also liked the display of how the hydrogen/fuel cells worked. 

It was an enjoyable two nights and a great experience.

P.S. The Activities Committee has been using these vehicles the past two years for Operation Santa Claus Delivery.  All the Committee members always enjoy the riding experience as well.

Santa Claus was spotted in  the hydrogen car after being recently trained in the safe operation of the fueling station. Although he relies primarily on reindeer power for his Christmas Eve deliveries, Santa finds the hydrogen car to be a reliable source of transportation to check and re-check his "Naughty and Nice" lists, as well as to do some special gift shopping for Mrs. Claus. Santa also commented on the car’s “great pick-up,” important when you have so many places to visit these days and have no time to waste!

Have a great holiday!

Recently I had the opportunity to ride and Drive the HydroJen Chevy Equinox fuel cell car. It is amazing how quite the car is, even at startup. The navigation showing how fuel cells work is very cool. We drove from Trexlertown campus from Cetronia Road coming onto Route 222 Bypass, merging into thru traffic.  The pickup was excellent.

It was very nice experience and interesting learning about fuel cell technology!

I recently had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell Electric vehicle. It was a great experience!

 It was fascinating learning more about fuel cell technology—especially how hydrogen is safely and efficiently converted into a form that can power an automobile.

 I’m pleasantly surprised at how much power this vehicle has and how easy it is to drive.

This technology has great potential; I can’t wait to see what it leads to!
