BMW is talking about using a fuel cell for their 7 Series luxury vehicles as their SLI unit. The fuel cell will run the air conditioning or heat even when the car is off. The fuel cell is manufactured by International Fuel Cells ( a supplier to NASA )

Certified by whom? I suppose they mean certified by GM. They've been testing the car since 94'. They have recently, (a year ago) reduced the size of some of their electronics. Does that mean that every change in their electronics will require additional certification? Excuse before this was they were holding back the release in order to have more Gen two vehicles with NiMH batteries for a big public event and PR release. (From their marketing Dept.) Two and a half years and in my opinion we have never received a straight answer to any question. Remember the GM S10s with NiMH have been in service for over a year.
