GM Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell SUV
Chevy has launched hydrogen-powered fuel cell Equinox SUVs. The Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell SUVs will be rolled out in California, Metropolitan New York and Washington DC. Currently, California has approximately 23 hydrogen fueling stations, New York has 2 and Washington DC has 1 station. As a result, the manufacturing of vehicles may be promoted more towards California, which has a larger hydrogen support system already in place that the other two regions.
The Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell contains General Motor’s fourth generation fuel cell propulsion system including a 93 kw fuel cell, 73 kw front-wheel drive 3-phase asynchronous electric motor and 35 kw nickel metal hydride battery pack. The Equinox Fuel Cell uses 3 carbon fiber fuel tanks, pressurized to 10,000 psi and has a range of 200 miles before refueling. The Chevy Equinox SUVs can reach a maximum speed of 100 mph and can accelerate from 0 - 60 mph in 12 seconds.
