California Dreaming? GM says 2014 will see 1,000 hydrogen cars in CA

As we wrote on April Fool's Day (but wasn't a joke), GM's vice president for research & development and planning, Larry Burns, delivered a speech at the National Hydrogen Association conference highlighting his GM's bullish stance on hydrogen cars. Reuters spoke to Burns about his speech and learned of the General's plans to have 1,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles driving in California between 2012 and 2014. Through Project Driveway, GM already has around 60 fuel cell Equinoxes in SoCal, and Burns told Reuters that "The next logical play for us is to take that up to a car scale of about 1,000," with mainstream acceptance and financial viability of hydrogen cars following in 2017 or 2018. We'll see.

DC Auto Show: General Motors introduces the first DC-Area Project Driveway participants

As General Motors prepares to start handing over the keys to fuel cell powered Equinoxes to the "customer" participants in Project Driveway, they announced the first Washington, DC-area drivers. At the Washington DC Auto Show, GM North America Sales VP Mark LaNeve introduced Tom Albert of Alexandria, VA, and Nick Williams of Washington, DC. Williams and Albert will each get a fuel cell Equinox free of charge for a three-month period. Over 100 Equinoxes are being prepared for a two-to-three-year field test. Drivers won't have to pay for fuel or insurance but will have to provide regular feedback to GM on the vehicles. The Equinox uses the current fourth-generation fuel cell stack and has a range of about 160 miles.

Civilian Project Driveway driver speaks!

As part of the launch of Project Driveway, GM is conducting a series of Electric Drive University programs in the areas where the fuel cell Equinox will be available. Autoblog's Alex Nunez will will be attending one such even this week in Westchester NY and providing his first hand account. The first of these events took place last week in southern California and Matt Kelly from NextGear had the chance to talk to Davi Kutz. Davi is one of the initial batch of volunteers chosen to spend three months driving one of these hydrogen-fueled crossovers. If you live in California, New York or the Washington, D.C. and you're interested in participating in this three-year program, you can sign up at the GM's special web-site.
