PopSci Test Drive: The Chevy Equinox
We test plenty of cars here at PopSci, but it's not everyday we get to try one as forward-looking and promising at the Equinox. The car runs on hydrogen fuel cells; turn the ignition and the car instantly (and silently) churns out enough electricity to power six houses. So how does that much raw, green power feel? Check it out as senior associate editor Sean Captain takes the Equinox on a spin up the Vegas Strip.

how much will it be in mass production.

How green is it? Please remember my friends that hydrogen is produced using electricity. The electricity is produced by electrical power plants. The hydrogen fuel for this car is only as green as the electrical power production that produced the hydrogen.

I think this is the only alternative energy source that will clean up the environment. I would like to own one of these cars.

Show me the results of some rear end crashes first, then tell me how green it actually is compared to petroleum.

a lot more info neede to make an informed decision. How far can it go on one fill up and obviously you need places to obtain refills.

Like Henry said, this is not an energy source. How is this better than a car that runs on electric batteries? I hope the industry starts to finally develop small, short-rage electric vehicles. SUVs are so overkill for commuting and running errands!

When it comes to repairs how much can we expect to pay and which parts will likely need replacing?
