A better fuel cell vehicle?

Forget fuel cell vehicles, think fuel cell assisted?

"Versa Power Systems, Inc., a leading developer of environmentally friendly Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) that generate clean electricity in compact form for a range of applications, today announced that a bench-top study of its technology in combination with an advanced battery validated the performance of a hybrid engine under conditions simulating the rigors of a commercial truck's operation."

Imagine plug-in hybrid vehicles with small fuel cells to extend the range of such hybrid vehicles. They wouldn't require a hydrogen highway, and they would be far cheaper than a fully hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicle. Oh, yeah, and they could wipe out foreign oil dependency.
