Some believe there is still plenty of room to improve ICE fuel economy. That may be true. But physicist Amory Lovins suggests that the real opportunities may lie elsewhere. “By the 1990s, revolutions in electronics, software, materials, manufacturing, computing, and other techniques had made it possible to design an automobile that would leapfrog far beyond ordinary cars' limitations,” Lovins says.

Lovins believes the most dramatic gains can come from complete whole-vehicle redesign. “Very large improvements in fuel economy and carbon emissions may be easier and cheaper than small ones, and may be achievable simultaneously without compromising existing goals.” That is, while producing cars that are safe, affordable, and fun to drive.

Fast-forward to Step 6 if you want to see the potential of
totally redesigned, fuel cell powered automobiles.
And consider the basic steps we all can take, to get there.
