RiverSimple Rasa (hydrogen fuel cell)

Interesting prospect (and prospectus!) but despite some big companies developing hydrogen fuel cell cars I can't say I'm yet persuaded over an EV or PHEV. (Infrastructure/energy to create the hydrogen etc)
If and when it launches it'll be on a rental basis, at comparable total monthly costs to a normal car it says. For me something more akin to the GMD T.27 EV would be more of a go-er (i.e. much simpler and cheaper to produce - this even has a CF monocoque
ETA: they do however quote 40g co2/km well to wheel for hydrogen produced from natural gas.

Thanks, hadn't seen that. I liked the panning shot that had a Tesla Model S and old Fiat 500 alongside it in their car park!A fascinating company, car and (non) ownership model, I hope they succeed but IMHO it'll be a very small niche that this appeals to (but don't suppose they'll be making many). Perhaps the 4 seater will be (slightly!) more mainstream.
