First Look: Ford's hydrogen electric plug-in hybrid vehicle

Ford used the Airstream Concept to display the HySeries Drive, a hydrogen electric plug-in hybrid vehicle fuel cell drivetrain. Instead of being powered by hydrogen fuel, hydrogen would instead by converted to electricity and electricity would power the Airstream and other future HySeries vehicles at all times. Consequently, the Airstream hydrogen hybrid could run solely on electric power obtained from a standard electric plug for short trips - up to 20 to 40 miles. Nonetheless, the vehicle would still require occasional fill-ups of hydrogen, so such a vehicle might not be very consumer friendly until the hydrogen highway is developed.
