Spotted: Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell

I was driving down Sunset Blvd as I do every day on my way to the gym, and low and behold what catches my eye? It was a Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell test vehicle! Yeah one might say that I should probably be a little more excited about all the exotic cars rolling through the streets of Los Angeles but with gas prices at $4.47 for 87 octane, this Equinox got me excited in ways that the exotics simply can not.

GM actually launched a test fleet of these Fuel Cell vehicles as part of their "Project Driveway" initiative. The General handed over a handful of these vehicles to REAL drivers in select markets such as Washington D.C., New York City, and Southern California. Even I signed up for it but to my disappointment I wasn't selected.

With ZERO emissions and a range of 150 miles between fill-ups, this car is perfect for commuters in urban markets.

The Fuel Cell Equinox even beat out still competition such as the very popular Toyota Prius and Honda FCX Clarity to win Green Car Jounal's Green Car Vision Award.
