From the article:

[ QUOTE ]
The fuel cell power-plant is 400 lbs lighter than the unit in the 2005 model.

So, in 2005, a naysayer may have said "Hey you are crazy to think fuel cell cars will ever be viable. The power plant weighs too much." Thank god the people working on this technology don't actually listen to pundits. They have too much profit on the line.

Further:
[ QUOTE ]
The combination of increased fuel capacity and more efficient powertrain yields a thirty percent improvement in range compared to the 2006 model.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. In one year (assuming like most cars the 2006 model is build in 2005), they achieved a 30% increase in range. In one year

Anyone who thinks our technology is at an apex and will not improve please feel free to tout the end of the world.
