Toyota FCV Demonstrates Its Ability To Beat Power Blackouts
A new hydrogen-powered Toyota could be the answer to keeping the electricity on when power black outs happen. Owners of the new Toyota FCV could simply reach for their car keys to keep their homes warm and well lit. The FCV, which is set to make its sales debut next year, demonstrates its potential as a back-up domestic energy supplier at the CES 2014 in Las Vegas this week. The FCV's electric motor can produce more than 100kW and, with a full tank of hydrogen fuel, could generate enough energy to power a regular home for a week. Engineers are now researching an external power supply device that could be used with the car to provide a safe and simple domestic connection.
Benefitting from Toyota’s extensive hydrogen fuel cell research and development, the Toyota FCV has a range of at least 300 miles(482km) on a full tank, and can be refilled just as quickly and safely as a conventional petrol or diesel model. When driven, the car’s only tailpipe emission is water, the by-product of the fuel cell system’s electricity generation process.
