For full features; Go to An Edge on technology?
Ford has unveiled a new SUV apparently only going to the US at the moment
though! The Edge HySeries Drive as it's apparently known uses electric
motors linked to each axle to drive it. These are powered by under-floor
batteries, and when they drain to 40 per cent of their charge, the hydrogen
fuel cell kicks in to replenish them. It gives the car a range of 225
miles, but the best bit is that the only emission is water deposited
beneath. Ford has fitted the HySeries drivetrain in its new Edge SUV,
although the technology can be applied to any vehicle. And this is the
first hybrid that you simply plug in to charge. So will this be the futute
for all SUVs? And will this please the anti-SUV brigade? Probably not, lol.
I alsso recall seeing a stupidly hefty price-tag somewhere, too.....

I highly doubt we'll see a hydrogen car (or SUV for that matter) in the
next 10 years. At least is shows some initiative though.

Aren't there already plug-in hybrids? Also, would it still use the heat
from the brakes to generate electricity?
