If you thought that hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles are today’s hippest trend, think again. This type of ride was made available to us as far back as the 1960’s. Yup, that was the decade when everyone was gearing for a more “futuristic” outlook in life. One of the vehicles that paved the way for this is the 1966 GM Electrovan. Considered a pioneer during its time, this vehicle could give you 120 miles through its fuel cells. So why wasn’t it produced and released nationwide? Well, it just so happened that the fuel cells took too much space. The cells were so huge that it occupied pretty much the entire van, leaving only two seats for the driver and passenger only. Aside from that, the costs to produce a batch of Electrovans were costly, especially since the technology available during that time wasn’t as advanced as today. However, it does tell us that even back then, the idea of using hydrogen fuel cells came to fruition. It’s just too bad that the technology we had wasn’t as good as it is today. Just imagine if it was.
