You lose about half of your range in an electric vehicle if you drive it in the middle of winter in Michigan,” says Cyrus Rustomji, cofounder of South 8. Rustomji says he expects EV batteries made with South 8’s technology to maintain nearly full range at –40 °C, and gradually degrade in temperatures lower than that.

Element 1, CO-WIN road testing medium-duty fuel cell truck with onboard methanol-based hydrogen generation

Green Car Congress

The company stated that it is becoming increasingly engaged with partners around the world on a wide range of hydrogen energy projects. The M-Series units are methanol reformers that use water plus methanol to make hydrogen. This range extension is critical for heavy- and medium-duty fuel cell trucks traveling long distances each day.

NETL publishes review of safety challenges of production, transportation and storage of hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen can be extracted from different sources such as fossil fuels, biomass, waste plastics and water. For example, compared to natural gas, hydrogen has an increased flammability range and lower minimum ignition energy, which increases the likelihood of a fire starting from a hydrogen leak.
