Many of Tesla's friends know that Tesla Model S's 75D models have a range of nearly 416 kilometers, while the 100D and the P100D have 539 kilometers (335 miles) and 506 kilometers (315 miles) respectively, ), Then if you want to open a 1000 km words? In addition to charging midway, a Dutch gas supplier recently gave a transformation program, so that Tesla Model S's trip tripled.
According to foreign media reports, Holthausen Group, a Dutch natural gas supplier, to Tesla Model S drive system has been modified to add hydrogen fuel drive, so that Tesla Model S endurance capacity more than tripled The home gas supplier has succeeded in creating a power and hydrogen-powered Tesla and has given the project a name: 'Hesla'.
Of course, Tesla did not participate in this process, but it was rather difficult to design and retrofit it with the Holthausen Group's engineers. It is reported that the Tesla Model S can be modified to use two types of drive, The first is the original battery on the Model S and the second is a new retrofit of hydrogen added to the hydrogen fueling unit.
According to the Holthausen Group engineer, the principle is simple: hydrogen molecules are pumped into the fuel cell, the anode removes the electrons, and the electrons pass through the circuit to the Tesla original battery to charge the battery. The hydrogen ions now re-enter the cathode of the fuel cell , Where they recombine with electrons and combine with oxygen to form water that eventually exits the fuel cell.
However, this transformation program and cheap, according to foreign media reports, the transformation program cost up to 58,000 US dollars, while a Tesla Model S priced at 79,000 US dollars, the transformation cost is almost a new Tesla Model S 73% Of the price, even if the renovation project was successfully launched, but the cost is also daunting.On the other hand, there are very few hydrogen refueling stations in the world, only 39 in the whole United States, which means the project should be extended to the world It will be difficult, it is estimated that only in a few countries and regions to provide this project.
