By GM standards, we'll be having this discussion in 2014 regarding why the Volt was never produced.
In fairness, the availability of hydrogen fueling stations has not progressed with actual hydrogen fuel cell technology, so you cannot compare hydrogen vehicle technology to even tomorrow's hybrid. GM does have some hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on the road in California, along with Honda, and work continues on the Sequel.


Anyone who pays the least bit of attention to GM's plans knows that the Volt WILL be delivered. The biggest difference between the Volt and the hydrogen cars is that there is no outside infrastructure needed, like those pesky hydrogen fueling stations.
