Abstract
The electric hybrid vehicle can solve the problems which today make the pure electric car limited in its acceptance. The primary limitations are excess weight and short range due to a heavy battery pack of limited energy density. Here, the author describes a basic hydrogen-powered vehicular design which makes use of three power technologies in a balanced way. The chassis is the standard Volkswagen Beetle type which carried many millions of the Beetles across all the Earth´s continents. The body is a fiberfab replica of a 1970s design sports car which provides three compartments from its original mid-engine design and a classic aerodynamic shape
