Yes, if they are to be believed from a recent event in London where the company showcased the ix35, the automaker’s third generation fuel cell ride. If all goes according to plan, Hyundai expects by the end of 2012 to produce 1,000 fuel cell vehicles for both government and private fleets.

Honda has them all beat with hydrogen powered fuel cell cars operating on the West coast for the past year or so. Now is the time to speed up the development of low cost hydrogen generation. If you already have a solar panel system, you can do it now for free with a simple electrolysis process.

That would be 30 miles to work, 30 miles back 5 times per week and 100 miles on the weekend, easily a weeks worth of driving for many commuters. Hydrogen stations are not around now, but "if you build it (FCV), they will come (stations).
