Well, I kept getting forced to travel up here when I lived in Austin, so I figured some of you other poor saps might suffer the same misfortune :-)<BR><BR>And then there's the ol' family vacation!<BR><BR>I'm sitting here without my stats sheet, but I know it is an AC Synchronous motor that they keep referring to as "130 horsepower" (where I don't know if they're talking electric motor rating, or some kind of gasoline engine bhp "equivalent") that is run at "260 horsepower" briefly, when both the stack and the battery are providing juice. So far, I have only had the motor power gauge up to 90 kW, but there is more to be had.<BR><BR>Danny<BR><BR>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt">So, I've been driving the Fuel Cell powered Equinox (<A href="http://www.chevrolet.com/pages/open/default/fuel/cell.do" mce_href="http://www.chevrolet.com/pages/open/default/fuel/cell.do">http://www.chevrolet.com/pages/open/default/fuel/cell.do</A>) for a little while now and I can tell you it is one sweet ride. I'll have it until about August 19th, so if anyone has travel plans to the Nation's Capital area before then, send me a message! I sure miss the old gang at times like this, I know y'all would love this truck.<BR><BR>Danny (stuck in DC)<o:p></o:p></P>

I'll be driving a Fuel Cell powered Chevy Equinox and providing feedback about the experience. <BR><BR>If anyone is planning on being in the DC area in the next 11 weeks, please let me know. We'll find a time to let you put the pedal to the metal (well, the H2 to the platinum) and get blogged about in the GM discussion forum.<BR><BR>Danny<BR>Austin!
