This popped up on my Facebook earlier. Looks really interesting but I don’t actually understand what it runs on?

Is it an EV is it some form of combustion engine hybrid thing?

Whatever it is looks fantastic to me. Although the website does seem a little pie in the sky.

It's an EV... fuel cell is just another way of generating/storing the electricity.

Hmm, it appears to be an alcohol fuel cell powered EV. I'm not sure I see the point really given that they're about 10% efficient and, unlike hydrogen fuel cells, produce CO2. Worst of all worlds surely? Except for particulate emissions I suppose.
