The system easily switches between hydrogen addition (>97% conversion) and release (>99% conversion) with superior capacity of 7.1 In summary, our detailed studies have shown that the abundant and low-cost petrochemicals can be made possible for large scale reversible hydrogen storage/release.

It was hard to start removing that first bolt but as the hours went on I quit focusing dismantling a 30k sports car and focused on the bigger picture, a clean, low maintenance, and low cost sports car! Although it was removed it will be reused in the conversion. Here is a picture of the exhaust system.

I'm thinking of making some modifications though now that I see how reliable the conversion itself is. I'm looking into some options for a low cost over haul here. I don't know how many miles I have left before at least one cell can't make it and possibly gets ruined to get me here.

Several after-market companies have done PHEV conversions of the Ford Escape hybrid and one has done a retrofit of the F-150 pickup -- see Where PHEVs Are and ICE-Conversions.) The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost. See Chevy Volt for latest.
